That's true. Arsenal are rubbish away from home. Watford walloped them. That and their record at OT makes me confident not matter how the rest of the season goes.
What do you hope to see in the Arsenal game ?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
No Mata, Pereira nor Lingard on the pitch. From 3 of: Gomes, Greenwood, James. Midfield: Fred, McTominay, Pogba.
That we score goals instead of hitting the goalkeeper from point blank or the post. And incredible performances from Maguire and Lindelöf
This guy
Some decent flowing counterattacking football. We won’t have to ‘worry’ about having all the possession and no idea what to do with it. They’ll be gaps, let’s exploit them
Just a good performance would be sufficient at this point for me.
A repeat of the game in October 1990 please.
No point saying "no Young, Lingard" etc, most of the bad players will play. Just a victory with Greenwood scoring 2 or 3 would be nice

Repeat of 2016
In the ideal world I would like 60%+ possession, and demonstration of a cohesive style of play that's been drilled on the training ground. But it's already been proven that even the most basic thing is too much to ask from this management and players.
Therefore my expectations are quite low. Don't be embarrassed.

I hope to not see Lingard
A Greenwood hattrick and DT going crazy after the match. Who am I kidding- any win would do it for me.
2 or more goals for us. Its a big ask as since Ole was full time manager we score at a rate less than a goal a game. If we could manage to score at least twice we might win.
You may be onto something there. We have bought a few players that start off well and then go way off the boil.
Greenwood double in a 3 1 victory.
A driven performance is what I expect given our players claim they'd die or Ole, not hope. I hope we win because that's what we need. Enough of this 'I was happy with the players' attitude' bollocks.
I hope to see us take the 1st opportunity we get and not fluff it. Anything else is an extra.
Or and Injury time fergie time winner would be nice.

Yes, I'm worried we have developed some sort of footballing black hole hidden deep in the club's training routines and it sucks in new players and then spits them out as, 'side-side, backward-side' passing automatons, who are also programmed not to deliver effective corner kicks, want the ball played to feet every time... but I'm sure I am worrying unnecessarily
I hope that when I check the full-time score, we've won the game, just so I can watch Arsenal Fan TV.
Sure to be goals but the battle is in the shitness of the defenses. I'm certain one of the triumvirate of toss (Luiz, Xhaka and the Greek) will give you a soft penalty. We just need Auba to outscore our madness.
An identity? Goals?
Or maybe I'll just accept Roy Keane calling out players again..

I'd accept coming out of the game without any fresh injuries.
Three points would be a nice bonus.

A win obviously but in terms of what I'd look for, something simple like us being able to develop our attacks and move the ball into dangerous positions would be nice. regardless if anything comes from it. If it's another game of long crosses and long balls through/over the top I think I'll just have to accept that is what Ole wants and wait for us to drop enough points for someone else to come in.
I'll be at the game tonight and i really don't know what to expect. We are at home, so we SHOULD attack, cohesivley as a unit with movement for the passes off the ball. Glad I'm going - I could not stomach that prickly buffoon Roy Keane taking pot-shots at the team. Yes I know Roy, they are currently sh*te!
Hope to see - Greenwood cutting in and unleashing into far corner with his left, then 10 mins later scoring a tap in with his right. 2-0 Utd
But we all know we will not see what we hope so any sort of win will do.

Slab head will win us the game
A goal from a set piece would be nice. Really think this is an area we need to focus on given our limited creativity.
Andreas left at home.
Hope not to see Matic, you're basically playing a man down when he's on the pitch. I get that we are weak in that position, but anyone but him. I'd even be inclined to play someone out of position there, someone who would cover runners and actually make challenges.
I hope we beat them 4-0.
The only thing I want to see is Rojo's name not on the team sheet!
Good energy, plenty of movement and actually doing something with it.
Not being a pussy who hides behind bush.
A goddamn 4-4 that we just miss out on winning.
0-1 Brown OG.
lucky you, man
Wan-Bissaka giving out a couple of good, non-injury causing, yet bone crushing tackles
I want to see none of Young, Matic, Lingard and Mata in the starting lineup.
Patterns of play.
Overlapping runs from fullbacks.
Midfielders making late runs into the box and getting to the end of crosses.
No irresponsible lose passes.
When we have a player who breaks the defensive lines, other players to find him with ball to feet.
Striker holding up the ball and bringing others into the game.
Shots from range if they make the keeper work on most occasions.
Corner kicks finding our player at least once.
