Hart
Boateng Kompany Lescott Bridge
Yaya Nige Barry
Silva Milner
Tevez
I am sure he will go for the Yaya/Nige/Barry combo and Tevez will start leaving Milner, AJ, Silva, and Ade to choose from. I expect Milner to start as he has been rested. Silva was taken off early against Lech Poznan and on his recent form you cannot really not play him. Very unambitious team but we all know our Bobby Manc! 3 points is all that matters!
Expect a cameo from Balotelli?
I agree; I think will be Bobby's lineup.
If it was up to me though, I would go with this: (I assume Kolo is not fit...if so would have him in for Boyata):
----------------Hart---------------------
Richards--Boyata--Kompany--Boateng
-------De Jong-------------YaYa--------
AJ--------------------------------Milner
----------------Silva--------------------
----------------Tevez--------------------
----------------Hart-----------------------------
Das Boat---- Toure-- Kompany ---Zab
-------NDJ -----------Barry
Milner----------Yaya---------Silva
-----------Tevez---------------
That WILL be the team no doubt in my mind

what a tasty match-up this will be. and with a dangerous attacking side like Arsenal coming to Eastlands, expect a very cautious lineup. We will definitely look to bottle their offense and hit them on the counter.
A lineup similar to home vs Chelsea and Liverpool is what we will see.
We should win all home games. All 3 points.

Got to play Adebayor, got a hat trick 3 days previous and against his former club he will be up for it and when he is up for it he is fantastic.
As good as Arsenal are i think we will be far too strong for them. They struggle against the top sides and are far too one dimensional.
The game will be won in midfield and i would go with a diamond formation.

Kolo for Boyata if he is fit!

i think bobby will pack the midfield again, but ades new form certainly does throw a spanner in the works.
i think his back line ups will be:
----------------hart---------------
--richard--boyata--kompany--boateng
simply becuase we all know that nasri will annihilate bridge. i think boatengs that little bit quicker and physically dominant than bridge.
Im afraid my fellow gooner has copy and pasted that lineup from skysports
Their is no way that walcott who's played 20 minuted after being injured for a month is going to start and no way in form samir nasri is going to be dropped
Well our midfield is scoring goals
Arshavin has 5
Nasri has 6
Cesc has 4 in 6 games
Walcott has 4 in 4 games of which 2 were sub
And Chamakh has started well scoring 6
It's up to us keeping our defence and we can nick this

We'll put out a very similar team to the one we fielded against Chelsea IMO. Crowd midfield, close em down and get up in their faces. Unfortunately, I think we'll lose this one, Gunners on top form, player fatigue and a dip in form.

Boateng--Kompany--Lescott---Zabaleta
Milner--Dejong--Toure.Y---Barry

on the face of it that looks impressive but you have only scored 4 goals in 4 away prem games so i think you are twisting the stats somewhat. this will be a tight game but your lack of quality at the back due to injuries maybe your undoing.
