He was right. Our apologies for doubting you, Wojciech, though your tweet was rather ambiguous. Regardless, with Lukacz Fabianski failing a fitness test, Wojciech Szczesny gets the biggest start of his life, in goal today for Arsenal when they visit Old Trafford.
Manchester United Vs. Arsenal: Welcome Wojciech Szczesny, Arsenal’s Only Surprise In Starting XI
The rest of Arsene Wenger's starting XI is as predicted. Gaël Clichy will start at left back, for better or worse. Laurent Koscielny and Sebastien Squillaci will be in central defense, with Bacary Sagna out wide.
The middle of the pitch will be occupied by Alex Song, Jack Wilshire and Samir Nasri, with Cesc Fàbregas on Arsene Wenger's bench. That trio will play behind Marouance Chamakh, Andrei Arshavin and Tomas Rosicky, the man who's soaked up playing time for the injured Fàbregas.
Though Szczesny starts in goal, Lukacz Fabianski has made the bench, joined by Fabregas and Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott, Denilson, Johan Djourou and Nicklas Bendtner to form the deeper line of substitutes in the league. An attacking trio of van Perise, Bendtner and Walcott getting service from Fabregas is a Champions League-level attack.
Arsenal Starting XI (4-3-3): Szczesny / Sagna, Squillaci, Koscielny, Clichy / Song, Wilshire, Nasri / Rosicky, Chamakh, Arshavin, Bench: Fabianski, Fabregas, van persie, Walcott, Denilson, Djourou, Bendtner
