United tomorrow, the perfect tonic?

Righto then, let's kick off then shall we?

I always say this, but there really isn't that much to talk about today, even with a trip to Old Trafford kicking off in under twenty-four hours. More news will probably come out this evening and tomorrow morning but for now we only have a few scraps to feed off. I'm drawing a line under the Barcelona match and any comments from there, so it's time to look ahead to United this weekend. As has been said by a few sources over the last few days, Arsene is looking for a boost in confidence from the tie this weekend. Not only does it give us a real chance of returning to Wembley this season if we can get past them, it could also prove decisive in the title race in terms of confidence and self-belief.

In terms of team news, Manuel Almunia will feature in goal with James Shea on the bench. News on Wojcech Szczesny's injury is that he will be out for around four to six weeks after consulting a specialist. We should see pretty much the same back four as has been featuring for the majority of the season, but Alex Song won't be fit in time and Cesc Fabregas has no chance after picking up a slight strain against Barcelona. We could see Diaby, Denilson or both alongside Wilshere, or the possibility of Nasri in the centre with Arshavin and Rosicky on the flanks, leaving probably Robin Van Persie up front after passing a fitness test earlier in the week with Bendtner and Chamakh on the bench.

More of a preview tomorrow... probably. Well who knows, one thing we do know is that Wenger spoke to the press pre-match and his conference and interview with Arsenal.com are here, exclusively from CescyFabGooner's channel on YouTube.
