LEAVE LARRY OUT

"His pace is incredible. When you play against him, you have to try and get a tackle in," said Crerand.

"I am not talking about trying to kick him. It's about getting a challenge in. The problem is catching him. It will be interesting to see who the manager picks. If both Wes Brown and Mikael Silvestre play, then I fancy United to get a result. They are both great defenders. They are quick and great tacklers. You saw that at Liverpool."

Considering the current injury list Paddy reckons that United should be happy with where they are:

"If United don't lose the match against Arsenal, everyone should be back after that. To be where they are considering their injury problems is a miracle. People were downhearted after the defeat by Manchester City, not so much with the result but the way the team played. The last few weeks supporters have had a tremendous lift. If they do something against Arsenal they will be back in with a shout."
