Gallas,Sagna and Arshavin are all rested so that changes the complextion of the game.Gallas and Vermaelen have played all our league games(I think) so Senderos and Silvestre and Eboue will come into the defence.Eduardo as a lone striker is not ideal, but maybe Vela will start with Rosicky(if fit)cesc,Song and Denilson. Theo on the bench.Would love to see Merida play,but more importantly I hope the team are focused to win and not play for the draw,as we obviously have limited options today.I doubt this will be the case,though Sunderland will be very physical and currently hold the record for the most fouls and yellow cards.

Probably our biggest game of the season so far. If we draw or lose then it will make it extremely difficult to make up the points.

Pretty sure Wenger will play Eboue on the right of the front 3 like he has done before this season. I think he’ll go with this:

Al
Sagna Gallas Verminator Silvestre
Song
Fabby Ramsey
Eboue Rosicky/Nasri
Dudu

Personally i’d have Vela in there!

Cant believe pple are even thinkin of resting Gallas,rest him during the week against Bent and Campbell i wouldnt want to take any chances for real so no changes wouldnt even think of having Silvestre at Left back put Traore in there his speed will get him outta trouble

________________Almunia
Sagna___Gallas___Verma___Traore
____________Song_____________
_______Cesc______Ramsey_____
Nasri__________________Arshavin
__________Eduardo____________

Have a feeling Arshavin will be sulking so if he plays up we will have Rosicky or Eboue or Walcott come in for them i am feeling a bit panicky about this game but 3 points any which way will be welcome

Because CBS dnt run as much as fullbacks (hence greater rotation for that position).

Gallas and sagna played 120 Mins on Wednesday night, so I assume would be very tired.

I’d stick to 433 because it’s been working well so we shouldn’t upset the rythem.

So id go with this:

——–almunia
eboue-senderos-verm-traore
fab-denilson-Ramsey
rosicky-edu-nasri

It all depends on how gallas is feeling if he is ok then we are in luck, but I can’t imagine sagna being fully fit.

Arsh has been hit and miss this season and if he played this game somehow i feel like it wud be a miss.

I think that if we rest any of our key players 2morrow we wont win, remember, sunderland are a good team. We only just managed to scrape a draw last season so I think its important that we do not under estimate them. If we do lose or get a draw it will give man u a chance to overtake us and the team will become very unsettled ahead of the chelsea game. I would play

almunia

sagna gallas vermaelen traore

song/denilson

nasri
fabregas

rosicky(walcott 60 min sub) eduardo arshavin

Im unsure what i would do about song, it would be risky to play him because if it causes him to miss the chelsea game then it would be disastorous. On the other hand, if he doesnt play then lorik cana might dominate the midfield with his bullying tactics.
