About this formation:
With Utd dangerous from flanks via Nani, Park and attacking full-backs Rafael and Evra. By moving to a 4-4-2 Arsenal could field Rosicky and Nasri wide: players who both have plenty enough attacking threat but can also effectively track and press defensively.
Meanwhile Chamakh has faded in the later stages of a few of Arsenal's recent fixtures, whilst Van Persie hasn't really shown that he's fit enough to start in such a demanding encounter so Chamkh to start and RVP to replace seems the logical choice. Fielding Arshavin alongside Chamakh in a 4-4-2 means he can create, collect knock downs, but wouldn't have such a key defensive duty as he'd have if fielded wide. He'd also be able to drop into midfield when needed.
Walcott would be an option to replace...
