This game is more important than Liverpool . It's our only chance of silverware and getting rid of Chelsea will leave us with only City to beat for the trophy. We must give it everything to progress.

I think the CB's will be rotated but I don't think Ole will risk Dalot vs Hazard even though Young is no great shakes defensively. Midfield remains the same, the forward line is a disaster, we have no choice but to play Sanchez and Lukaku even though I'd be tempted to just throw Fred on the RW and see what happens.
Pereira played most of his games for Valencia wide right and got a few assists. Could be worth a punt, although Lukaku was very good on that side against Arse in the last roundIf Lukaku and Mata start which looks likely were fecked.
I think the real question is how good is Pereira playing on the wing - if I remember this correctly he was not that good there at Valencia.
We need to find a different way to play without Martial and Lingard, and this team doesn't include Mata, who is good at providing some control but slow, or Sanchez, who is, well, crap quite frankly. The full-backs can bomb on with defensive cover provided by Matic and Herrera. Pogba and Fred can push forward and create chances for the forwards, hopefully.
I'd love to see Chong, Gomes and Greenwood on the bench too.Biggest challenge for OGS so far, with a bad result from PSG and injuries to key players.
However, I do not understand why people want Fred in the team. He has shown himself to be a liability to the team so far, and has hardly a good performance. He should only come on as a sub if anything.
I would rather have Lukaku and Sanchez at this point, to replace Lingard and Martial, given that we do not have a better sub.
I am hopeful that we can beat Chelsea. 2-1 United win.So Lingard and Martial definitely out for this match? Any news on when they'll be back?De Gea, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Lukaku, Rashford, Sanchez.
2-1 Chelsea.
Didn’t he play quite well in the league game this season? Or am I misremembering?
This is actually our best bet if Martial is injured. Put another body in midfield with Fred, Smalling to cover for Dalot inexperience.

Yes he was decent as the CAM in a 4231.
Yeah and that'll be easy wont it. I'd gladly take a defeat here if someone offered me a guaranteed win against the scousers in exchangeSurely we aren’t losing here again? Especially with how shit they are at the moment.
They are not too shit at home. If this was at OT I would be much more confident.
We've always had a hard time at the Bridge. One of the only games a season their fans actually get involved.
To be fair, it doesn't matter who plays because we know how to win, City showed everyone the blueprint. Stop Jorginho, stop Chelsea, score your chances.It'll be so annoying if we get knocked out by these - they're just such a meh club at the moment. They'll definitely put in a shift against us though.
They always do
Plastic cnuts
Can’t see us winning this sadly but we’ll beat them in the LeagueOur record at that stadium is rancid. Even when we play well, we somehow can't win.When's Ole's presser for this game?
Game Monday, so Sunday I presume.
We haven't actually played well since RVP scored thereI think we played well a few times but sendings off and last minute goals didn’t help
We are due something there
This fanbase is strange we were talking about beating PSG by 2 or 3 and are worried about Chelsea. I agree it will be tough maybe a draw
Disagree .We played well last October. We also played well in the 1-1 draw under LVG.
This season we were pretty good I thought?Changed my mind. I reckon we should go 3-5-2 to compensate for not actually having any wingers.

2.30 I think
Thanks.Sanchez and Mata start, we lose. It's as simple as that.
At least Lukaku has pace.Yay. Chelsea away.
Always great at the bridge.
No this is more important imo . There's nothing like winning trophies. I want the FA Cup and top 4 .Doom and gloom in here. We'll win.Our record there is poor, it seems form goes out of the window where Stamford Bridge is concerned. We play cagily, we fail to express ourselves and we don't win.
This feels like a great opportunity to beat them but given our record and the fact we're without Lingard and Martial I can see another frustrating performance.
Oops! Either of them will do!Moonwalker and Martial confirm out.
One last chance for Sanchez, still fail and hopefully Ole will kick him out of the squad then onwards.
Like to see this diamond set-up.
De GeaQuick sub Lukaku in for Alexis if Sanchez is rubbish again.
Young -- Smalling -- Lindelof -- Shaw
Herrera -- McTominic
Pogba
Sanchez -- Rashford
Subs: Lukaku, Chong, Mata, Fred, Dalot, Bailly, Romero
---
I think Ole will start Lukaku, Sanchez bench. Maybe even Romero to start because it's a Cup! Dalot to start ahead of Young.
Like 20 mins into the game
It will be hard enough playing 11v11 mate.
So many people coming up with their detailed fantasy lineups, then not being able to count up to 11, or realising that we are allowed a goalkeeper.
Bet Hazard has been saving up a good performance for this game and I bet Jones plays and assists him with that.- Status
