It's quite telling that all the talk is quite negative and bracing ourselves for a loss when it could be about us leap frogging them with a good result at home to be top of the league.
Honestly, I think it will depend on who we have in midfield and whether they can find their mojo. They are no fortress at the back themselves so I hope we are not as wasteful as we often have been this season.
Rooney to dive on the half way line rolling into the box for a penalty, miracle recovery to score it for penalty hatrick, Owen Goal with the consolation in the 98th minute (delay to Sanchez being cut in half by Hezanot Datkinda-Playa).

I'm not sure it's that telling. It's a combination of past experience and the midweek result. Had we won that people would probably be a bit more bullish.Originally Posted by Blink 1nce Quince 2wice
I'm finding Arsenal results impossible to call right now. I expected a tough time at Leicester and we breezed past them. I thought we'd beat Olympiarcos quite comfortably and we made a mess of it. Who knows any more?!
Not Arsene?
I'll be at the match rocking gentle back n forth muttering about Invincibles vs invisibles

Well yeah, that's why it's telling. Any other top 4 team's fans would be speaking about the chance to steal top spot....notwithstanding Chelsea who I should point out aren't a top 4 side. Instead we're all bracing ourselves for a negative result. A draw isn't the end of the world but the fact we put our chances of winning at home so low is depressing, They not even one of the better United sides over recent times.
It would be sensible to predict dropped points for all sorts of reasons but I just want to believe we can win but as you say, who knows what we will do....we're becoming increasingly unpredictable.
It’s a massive game and we need a serious performance from our midfield. I trust Coquelin to do his job and turn up but Ozil, Cazorla and Ramsey need a big game. I especially want to see a massive improvement from Ozil in this game. I hope Wenger has put some more pressure on him.
We can absolutely win, there is nothing to fear from this United team. The only thing we have to fear is ourselves because our record in these games smells of wee. There are average teams who have more victories over United in the last decade than we do.
Though saying that, I've gone for a 1-0 to the Arsenal.

We all do. But it's hope/optimism now, no longer a realistic expectation. I note, maybe for the first time, that nobody is actually bothering to name the team they think will start. I suspect this is because will all have finally come to the realisation that no matter who we name in whatever position we will undoubtedly play the same way regardless.
Think we're going to lose TBH. 1-3, we'll get torn apart on the counter.
