I have a feeling this will be a pigs ear of a game, neither side will wanna lose. I’d say United’s starting 11 edge it for me at least. Need an early goal to open it up. I’d say United 2-1, Rashford and Pogba.

Completely agree, any kind of win is a positive today. We'll start properly against Burnley next week.
Oh didn't know that but luckily for you lot its Newcastle.
You're playing Steve Bruce's Newcastle. Anything less than a 3 goal margin of victory would be a disgrace.
I selected Arsenal in GW1 of Last Man standing, so please don't lose.

Jose thinks four teams can win the title. City, Spurs, Liverpool and City's B team.

That Arsenal team looks horrible
Arsenal's team looks quite poor.
We won't lose, but there's plenty of players out/ still not fully fit;
Kolasinac, Tierney, Holding, Bellerin, David Luiz, Ceballos, Torreira, Ozil, Pepe, Lacazette
At least a few of them are on the bench!
I know they haven't given starts to any of their new players but my word that Arsenal team isn't even top 10 standard. If Newcastle are up for it today they could easily win this.
I actually forgot Steve Bruce was managing them now. Does give me more hope
Also, worth noting that Willock has been excellent in pre-season. Excited to see what he can do with his chance today. I'm less convinced by Nelson, though he's the one who's gotten more hype (connected to the Sancho/ Germany connection?).
Feck me.
I should have done more research before picking you lot. I had 2 mins before the signups closed!
Yea its not dramatic when you aint their manager.
Newcastle to win for me, Arsenal are horrible away from home, and that 11 today is weak. Looking forward to Mr DT 
Willock does look very promising. I'd say he seems to be going under the radar a little with everyone hyping Nelson
I feel like there's gonna be a mini meltdown on here after the Leicester / Wolves match about how *insert winner* is so much better than us and will definitely finish above us.
That LEicester team looks really good.
Laura’s Woods really pushes my buttons 
I completely missed Newcastle re-signing Andy Carroll. Jesus. Has there been anything for their fans to look forward to after Rafa left?Odds 10 on Rhys Nelson to score the first goal is looking decent now. People are underestimating Joe Willock and Nelson big time.
Pretty sure Arsenal's bench today could beat their first team even with the 4 man deficit
Wtf me too. I'll take your word for it
I forgot Bruce is their manager
So 40 Mio fee for Newcastle striker Joelintlon and he has only scored 22 goals in the past 4 years! Ashley is going to regret not paying Benitez instead.
I just realised what that new Sky Sports Premier League song reminds me of
Which game to watch today? Arsenal could be a decent watch. But Leicester Wolves sounds like fun as well.
"Good morning?" Surely its afternoon in the UK now.
Going to watch Leicester live and then try to zoom through the Arsenal game at half-time. Theres some rugby on as well
Jose at OT.
Miserable cnut.
He will spread all of his negativity around the place.
Am I doing itall right?

Do Wolves have a better central midfield than us?
i will choose watch foxes v wolves
Pm river
Soyuncu in for Maguire. Lets see how he does, maybe he can kickstart his Leicester career properly
Lets see how Longstaff does
Right lads, how do we pronounce Joelinton? I assume it's not just Joe Linton.
Looks nothing like the major boycott I was expecting to see at the Sports Direct Arena.
