Arsenal’s Predicted Starting XI To Face Manchester United
By Josh Sippie
Petr Cech
All season I have spoken of how David Ospina is a fantastic shot stopper. Apparently he is not a fantastic corner stopper. The Colombian keeper looked shakier than we have ever seen him. He suffered a total lapse on a massive defensive error that led to an own goal. That accounted for Olympiakos second goal.

You hate to blame entire games on one man, and to blame it all on Ospina would be foolish, but he had a major part to play.
Seeing Petr Cech back in goal is going to inspire confidence across North London. He does not make mistakes like that. United will have their work cut out to beat one of the best keepers in the world of football.
That being said, if he is sitting behind a defense that played like they did against Olympiakos, not even Cech will be able to keep a clean sheet. Maybe the lapses in defense were down to communication. If that is the case, Cech can most certainly restore order.
