First goal wins for me.

Yep and if it's early again, could be a long day on our part. 

 

The midfield 'battle' could be interesting, you'd argue only Drinkwater is any form of the likely starters

They will be well up for this one and I think he will "rest" Rooney which will be bad news for us. Carrick will be back?

We can't defend and our form this season against anyone decent isn't encouraging. Haven't we only won there 6 times in our entire history?

Would take a point right now.

Did you see the 2 games before the EFL? I would argue most played well, Albrighton, Mahrez, Slimani and Fuchs are in very good form. Honestly this forum baffles me, why so many moany cvnts.

They have quite a few first teamers playing and even more on the bench. Ibra rested is understandable but Rashford benched means he starts against us I think. Rooney finally playing in a more forward position as well. 

 

Hopefully Northampton can give them a bit of a scare (unlikely) but whatever happens come 10pm at least they will all still be in Northampton and hopefully come Saturday lunchtime we will have a slight physical edge over them.

Interesting one this. We're capable of winning it, we came very close in the shield but only just lost out. Hopefully we will do alright.

I think the big hole down the middle will reappear! Amartey has had good games against poor opposition and a terrible game against top opposition. I think the big pitch/occasion will show those frailties again. I'm predicting 3-1 United. We need January and silva to arrive ASAP

Amartey is only 21years of age, this type of role may not be his strength s.  I personally don't see him being strong enough or quick enough to play that role against the best teams.  Early days yet, he may yet grow into the role....

Being pretty much our only option at the moment, every match he improves is a huge bonus to us. And Mendy always seemed more of a creative midfielder, than a defensive. I hope Drinky's taken Amartey under his wing.

I Think we'll go with the same line up as last week against Burnley. I just hope DD recovers sufficiently from last night to exertions to play well. He's such a big player for us right now.

I doubt Mendy will play and so it's a big ask of Amartey with his level of experience.

 

It's hard to call it because a lot will depend on which Utd turns up. Their nervous and vulnerable at the minute. If we get at them and go ahead they may collapse. 

I'd like to see us go 3 at the back and 4 across the middle bringing Schlupp on the left and move Albrighton to the right. And 3 up top. Our top three will frighten and worry them, forcing to keep more players bak in defence. This should help ease the pressure on our midfield, giving them a little time and space.

 

I believe we can win but right now I'd take a Draw.

Praying its Rooney and Fellaini starting in midfield with Pogba, and not Carrick and Herrera. 

 

Not basing that just on this game v Northampton by the way before anyone points out they're in League One.

Schlupp to play...he never has 2 poor games, after each other....:D

I would be surprised if he has left his bed yet. He looked nearly dead after 50 minutes, not to mention the extra 50 minutes he did after.
