Welcome back to Teamsheet... Mail Sport's original football memory game with a twist that leaves you scratching your head as you try and remember Premier League starting XIs of years gone by.

Today, we are going back to 2001 when Arsenal were in a race for the top flight title with Manchester United. In April, they were stunned by relegation-threatened Middlesbrough, losing 3-0 at Highbury ahead of a crunch Champions League game against Valencia.

The result pretty much handed the title to United, while Boro ended the season well safe. But we want to know if you can name the starting XI that Arsene Wenger picked that day. 

It's just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score... full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI.

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY 

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point - so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it'll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it'll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player - and if you fail, we'll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you'll score the best possible total of 11 - or fail on every player and score 121.
