Arsenal have been offered goalkeeper Eduardo by Portuguese outfit Sporting Braga, according to a report from The Daily Mail.
Don't Miss

Eduardo, 27, was set to join Genoa, but Braga would apparently prefer him to join the Gunners for £3.4 million, the amount stated in a buy-out clause in his contract.

Arsenal are set to sign Mark Schwarzer from Fulham but would need to offload Manuel Almunia before bringing in two new goalkeepers.

Lack of consistent quality in the key goalkeeping position was, for many Arsenal fans, one of the main issues undermining the team's ultimately unsuccessful bid for honours last season.

Of course, the biggest talking point at Old Trafford will be Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez re-locking horns, with the latter facing United for the first time after receiving an eight game ban for racially abusing the former. Both managers have been outspoken in their defence of their players this week, with Sir Alex Ferguson musing in today's programme notes that his "biggest regret is the way Patrice has been castigated in some quarters for standing up to racism".

As with in the Goal.com towers this week, debate has raged on Twitter as to who Sir Alex Ferguson should pair Wayne Rooney with for today’s showstopper with Liverpool. Chicarito and Danny Welbeck have got their fair share of fans, while Dimitar Berbatov is the romantics’ choice, following his spectacular overhead effort in the corresponding fixture last term. Stoic defenders of Michael Owen seem few and far between though.

Tweet us at @GoalUK to let us know who you think should get the nod.

Sandwiched between today’s showcase early and late kick-offs – Liverpool’s subplot-ridden trip to Old Trafford and ‘Arry’s return to the hot seat at White Hart Lane – is a set of pretty spicy looking 3pm-ers. Here’s what our Goal.com soothsayers (attending all today’s Premier League games) think will go down.
