Arsenal’s Predicted Starting XI To Face Manchester United
By Josh Sippie
Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott
Mesut Ozil was not as crisp as we would like to see out of our midfield maestro. His pass completion was only at 83%. That was fourth worst on the team. Very unlike Ozil. The high-speed intensity of the game may have been too much for him to handle, as the German prefers to control the tickings of the game.

United may cause him some problems as well, at least initially. However, Ozil is too good to be handcuffed for two straight matches. He will make an impact against the Red Devils.
Theo Walcott will have another run out despite Giroud missing the Olympiakos affair with a red card. Walcott is starting to come into his element and it would be tough to lose his speed against this United defense. He and Alexis combined brilliantly all game as the partnership is really starting to blossom.
