    Workshopping potential lineups...
    I think there's a good chance Lukaku starts. Tuchel seems pretty anxious to have him available in the first XI. If so, question is what formation he goes with...does he stick with the 3-4-2-1 or go with the 3-5-2 which we have seen glimpses of? If he doesn't start, I guess we'll go with the 3-4-2-1 per usual.

    A win against Arsenal would be lovely as I will be able to wind up my brother-in-law. He wasn't happy after Arsenal lost to Brentford.
    I feel it would be my civic duty to add to his misery!

    Totally agree with not starting Rom. We have him for 5 years and there is no need to rush him into the starting lineup considering he hasn't had a full preseason and also had a week off due to the transfer and quarantine. Let's get him used to our system first before he starts. Even though we play the same 3 at the back like inter our teams have totally different philosophies. 
     Inter play with a low block and play direct with fast counter attacks , while we play a possession game with a high block and a high press.
    Mount on the other hand has to start. He was brilliant in the first half but faded in the second due to fatigue and a lack of preseason. This week's training will do him the world of good.
    I say we start the same team like against Palace but switch pulisic with Havertz and Kova with Kante

    With City coming up it's tempting to prioritise their fixture over this one, but getting 6 points against Arsenal this season is essential. Man City will likely take points off fellow rivals, but they along with United, Liverpool and Leicester are unlikely to drop points to Arsenal as the season progresses. That means we need to beat Arsenal just maintain parity, whereas points against City are likely to just be a bonus.
    Arsenal are the kind of team that can really bypass Jorginho's influence as they play wide and direct on the counter-attack, and don't care about ceding possession in midfield as they are good at blocking passing lanes and intercepting.
    For some reason, Kante has also had horrible showings against them in his last few outings. Kovacic, with his ability to carry the ball through the lines, is key here, as would Mount or Pulisic's ability to run with the ball and disrupt Arsenal's shape.

    It is a Sham that we have to be preparing for this game. City have had an extra 10 days to plot our downfall. I blame those crackhead United supporters because we all know Liverpool and Leicester wouldn't have won those games in Old trafford if not for the postponement of the game.
