Pretty much our strongest starting 11 I think although a fully fit Carrick and Januzaj for Fellaini and Young would be my changes.

Please, please, please find some decent form and play fast attacking football tonight!

Please just play well tonight. Put in an actual good performance for once. We've not played a great game since QPR at OT ages ago. That's not very good.

Good line up, would have liked to see Mata in behind Rooney, that back six looks pretty solid in front De Gea, haven't said that for a while. Danny getting a start up front the gunners. his pace could give us some trouble but hopefully his finishing hasn't improved. Our subs look strong too, could see any of these guys starting without any problem.

Very strong bench btw, lots of options although hope they are not needed. Personally I would love to see Mata come on and score the winner!

Happy we are keeping a stable line up. But would have preferred mata to fellaini, but I have a feeling fellaini will be the difference maker today. A pumped up fellaini would be the last thing arsenal would want.

Go for the win boys.

Arsenal are playing with one recognised midfielder Coquelin. We should run over their midfield. SUrely they will atttack today so thats a good news for us as we can keep possession and attack.

Today we have to play lvg style and keep possession, I know many will be frustrated with this but keep the ball and frustrate arsenal and then attack like we always did in the past. We cannot afford to give chances to them like we gave at emirates this season.

I'm fucking loving the fact LVG rates Fellaini because it means I know what I'm talking about just like defending Tony.V and Young

Yeah, Lvg works a lot similar to Sir alex. Sir alex also never selected players on the basis of name and lvg is doing the same. No matter if you are Mata or Falcao or Rafael you have to earn your selection. He must be seriously impressed by the work of Young, Valencia and fellaini.

Only shame is that Jonesy (pardon, the new Duncan Edwards) is not in the starting line-up. Jonesy hoofs it up to Fellaini, he chests it down to Young, Young scores. Simple as that.

ash so true mate LVG doesn't give a fuck about names just players who work hard for the shirt

I'm confident we will win tonight : Arsenal are bottlers. It will be a great season if we win the FA cup. With their win last year, Arsenal have catch up in terms of FA cup win. We have both eleven cup titles. It should make the match even more interesting.

Looking forward to this should be a cracker draw live afterwards too.All I ask is a decent performence and less passing of the ball it's a cup game and yea I wish Mata was playing.Come on United.

Fellaini's been put there to simply add physicality. Arsenal have always had the history of struggling to beat a physical side( Remember Evra's comments about boys vs men)

Ash, Wayne : yeah right about LVG. ANd that is the way that should be. Only managers without balls are afraid to drop big names.

Rafael, Jones, Falcao and Mata should start instead of Valencia,Smalling,Young and Fllain. LVC Thinks he kows more he cant listen to his assistant, Giggs should take on the Job
