MU and Spurs have CL games in midweek. So who gets benched/rested this weekend?

Rashford is my main worry. Pogba feels less likely but maybe.

Son?

Could be some long faces when teamsheets appear...

Im hoping for Son 100% rested, but i cant see it myself.

Think Ole will play a his best 11, he messed up against Burnley when changed his team around and was lucky not to lose.

And then there is Auba of course. At least one Arsenal fan forum reporting he has not travelled to Huddersfield, and given he has been ill and Europa game approaching and it is Huddersfield (albeit away), would be an understandable decision.

And Huddersfield, in the winter. Bit cold.

No chance of Son rested imo. They will have had 8 days off before they play tomorrow. Then after Wednesday, it's another 10 days off. I think there's something seriously wrong with their fitness if they can't manage both - taken off after 80 minutes...maybe. More likely Poch will want to play his team into top gear/rhythm. Strongest starting line-ups both games.

Rashford might be a different story though because in 3 days they have PSG then after that FA Cup Chelsea, albeit there are 6 day gaps between the next two fixtures coming up. Again, taken off early more likely but I wouldn't be that surprised if he was benched.

I hope not. if it's Corporal Jones and Baily at the back I might change my captain to Babbel.

De Gea, Dalot, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Lukaku.


As they say, this isn't confirmed, but strongly rumoured.

They was correct about Rashford but we all could have guessed that
