Prediction
3-0
It’s Zinny, not Zinna. Where’s Zinna come from?
At home with our ‘B’ team , relax dude..1.86 XG at home against the team on the bottom of the Swiss League isn't exactly exciting

Yeah but the B team seems to exhibit the same characteristics as the A team, which is creating chances but not scoring them, so forgive me for seeing a pattern.
It's an interesting notion that Arsenal won 4/6 of the group stage matches with one goal. Based on that, the rotation was very good to get just those results, because even one draw from those would have got us finishing 2nd which would have been catastrophic for fatique next year. Goldbridge was fuming United got 2 extra games for next year.For me, our depth/rotation is good enough for the first round of EL matches, and probably early rounds of the EL and FA Cup. We will need to play our starters from March onwards, so hopefully we can get in a player or two in January.
Think the PL and EL should be our main focus this season, next season we can go beyond that.
Nah.
One of Xhaka, Ode or Jesus will always play. Simple as that. Captaincy trio.

I really hope Arteta forfeits Carabao Cup by playing youth and 2nd team only.
But I can't see him forfeiting FA Cup, and not sure I want that. There's less games in FA Cup, plus we should get injured players back and reinforcements like you say.
This new system where the 2nd teams get two games against UCL opponents is pretty nice, because it gives much more to play for at the end of group stage.
That's fine. Nobody really wants United in the FA Cup anyway. Let them forfeit.I copy this tweet here from the United thread. This is what we could have got if we drew any of those four wins by one goal.
United rotated less than Arsenal and finished 2nd. And people moan about the rotation.
It hasn't been 100% convincing but job done. Top of the group with plenty of fringe players getting valuable minutes so no complaints from me.

Not being able to face another group winner in the last 16 is disappointing. The last 16 (played in early March) is guaranteed to be a tricky tie.
If Utd get past their playoff they will have an easy tie in the last 16. This isn’t fair.
