    I have no Man Utd or Leicester players in my team..i did have Maguire but i took him out for Azpilcueta.

    I have a £1.00 bet at 33/1 that Harry Maguire scores a header...worth a punt with those odds !

    I put Macguire in my team though hope he has a off day today.

    This game is too frantic

    I have no players in this match! Feels weird not having a United defender at least.

    I have a 3 man defence of Azpilcueta ,Stones and Van Dijk.

    Lascelles and Tarkowski as subs.

    My formation is 3-4-3.

    That's a heavy defence! I have a cheap one of Robertson, Van Aanholt and Doherty.
    Wan-Bissaka and Peltier on the bench.

    It's only rumours, but I've read he wasn't a popular figure in the Arsenal team towards the end of his period there.

    I'm nervous for the upcoming season for Arsenal, but looking at photos taken by Stuart MacFarlane - the Chief Photographer at the club, the squad sure looks like they are enjoying each others company.

    Maddison at Leicester sure looks the real deal! He can be a great addition to their squad.

    Tomorrows matches are :

    Newcastle v T*******ham : I will be a Newcastle fan
    Leeds v Derby : I will be neutral (looking forward to this one ! )

    That one is on TV here as well. Leeds looked sharp last weekend, and Derby wasn't bad either, so it's a game to look forward to.

    Early days the team need games together, glad we started with a win even if we scraped it.

    Must be fantastic for Shaw to score there. He deserves a good season.

    Shaw seems like a good kid he was interviewed on sky after the game, Jose was buzzing when he scored which is encouraging

    Hope they've put whatever issues they had behind them. The Mourinho/Shaw situation was a talking point last season.

    To be fair Shaw fitness levels have not been great, I think that bad injury took its toll though today will give him some confidence not a great performance though he was trying the right things which Jose will be happy with.

    Yeah, the fitness has been an issue for him. Did read somewhere that he had spent the summer break working with a fitness coach to be ready for the season. Looks like it has paid off!

    Jose reaction showed me Jose does care also and looks like a turning point.

    Time will tell. Positives to be taken from this game by United, though.
