3-1 Arsenal. Saha to open the scoring for us, thereby angering Arsenal who put three past us in the second half.
Your prediction is the exact same as the match last year, isn't it? I don't know, I'm not optimistic about this one at all. It's usually a fixture that's a write-off for me and given the form that they're in, I'd rape any one of your mothers for a draw.
The thing is, though, Song and Cesc could be out which sort of facilitates our task and I think a massive factor is the Belgian microphone. Fellaini NEEDS to have a good game (I suppose you could say they all do) but he'll be pivotal in dispossessing them and giving it simple etc. which is what he's good at, winning the ball back. This could be the game that makes him; he's been playing much better lately and even though I'm not comparing him to the Jag in any way, Jagielka truly forged his name against the shite at Anfield last season.

Hard game to predict. I'll go for Moyes' typical negativity and a 2-1 defeat.
At a push, I may say 1-1 though. Depends on if I've got my optimistic/realistic head on.
