Manchester United Vs Arsenal 2009 | Arsenal formation against Manchester United | Arsenal Starting line up vs Manchester United

This week end Arsenal ill be facing the defending champions or you can call them as depleted champions Manchester United at Old Trafford. Last season arsenal scored 4 out 6 points against Man U in league fixtures, this season with few star players missing in there squad, it will be interesting to see how gunners will fare this season. But the only negative thing for gunners going into this fixture is the absence of Francesc Fabregas, who could be out for up to 3 weeks. So its sure that we can't expect creatively brilliance in the midfield that produced score line like 6 -1 and 4 - 1 and also Arsenal are playing away from home against the champions, so we could say that its really tough for Arsenal to get a result and make it 3 out of 3 win this season. But don't underestimate them, Arsenal have quite often proved wrong who wrote them off.

Staring from current squad players, former players, football pundits and fans all over the world have prised Arsene Wenger for the new formation that he applied this season. But I seriously doubt that the formation would work without Fabregas. Against Man U in there own backyard, the formation should be more defensive. So i have gone for 4 2 2 1 1 formation.


Alexandre Song and Denilson play as two defensive midfielders, thats the best role that they can play rather that expecting them to be Fabregas. Theo Walcott should be fit in time for this game, but that is only my guess. So I have placed him as the right winder with Andrei Arshavin being the left wingers. Eduardo is the center forward accompanying this above him is Robin van Persie. The game plan is wings, we have got two great players playing in those position, let them create chances and our strikers finishing it, because Man U have two wall in the form of central defenders, its really fought to get past them but the wing back are not that convincing enough so we can expect something out there and let Song and Denilson win possession and feed the wings. I really convinced that Arsenal would at least get a point out of this, even without Fabregas simply because. Compare the midfield of Man U and Arsenal you will agree with me.
