Pundit Predictions: Who starts at Arsenal?
Michael Carrick has quite the job on his hands as Manchester United prepare to face Premier League leaders at Arsenal this afternoon.
The Reds will be buoyed after last weekend's win against Manchester City at Old Trafford, but face yet another stern test at the Emirates Stadium in the 16:30 GMT kick-off.
One of the biggest questions for our new boss remains who starts from the off, with big names such as Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha not chosen to begin the contest against City.
Two former Reds have now had their say ahead of kick-off, and each of them have thrown up some interesting dialogue that may come into Carrick's thinking...
DAVID MAY
David May thinks Carrick will be forced into the same starting XI that faced City, with Cunha and Sesko again set for places on the bench.
Maysie also believes the game will finish level and predicts Bruno Fernandes to be United's standout performer in North London.
United: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amad, Fernandes, Dorgu, Mbeumo.
Final score: 2-2.
First goalscorer: Mbeumo
Man of the Match: Fernandes.

WES BROWN
Treble winner Wes Brown surprisingly thinks tactics will dictate Carrick's starting XI, and he says Patrick Dorgu will come out of the side for Cunha.
Brown has also gone for a huge result in the capital, with the Reds winning 3-2 in a tightly-contested affair.
