    Since there's no updates on injuries, I expect the same lineup as Benfica games except for Martial instead of Rashford, Young instead of Blind and maybe Jones instead of Lindelof as well.

    De Gea
    Valencia - Jones - Smalling - Young
    Matic - Herrera
    Mata - Mikhi - Martial
    Lukaku​
     
    De Gea
    Valencia Smalling Jones Young
    Matic Herrera
    Mata Mkhi Martial
    Lukaku

    Subs: Romero, Lindelof, Darmian, Lingard, McTominay, Rashford, Shaw

    Expect most of those players on the bench will start midweek. Should be a fairly straightforward win, just hope at least one of the front four shows up.
     
    There's no need for us to make this game difficult.

    Tottenham won comfortably there. United may be in town, but the result should be the same.

    S…, the way Mourinho talked about Pogba “not being here” was not nice! But Zlatan's there!

    Paul is not here, I don’t know when he comes back, when he’s available, I’ve no idea. Zlatan is here, he’s working here, under our control, he’s working so so so so hard but he’s not to be back in the next week or couple of weeks, let him take his time and be back when everyone feels is the right moment. Do I think he will be back in 2017, yes I do. But is just a feeling.

    Pogba's situation and Mourinho's reluctance to talk about it is weird.

    It's all about the first goal. They were arguably the better side against Spurs until they conceded a goal. After that, it was one way traffic. They haven't won their last 5 PL games, so this is definitely a game we should be winning.
     


    Found this one really interesting, so I went and had a look at United that season. Started really well, beating Champions-to-be Derby County among others, but massively fell off right before Christmas, completing 10 league games in a row without a win - including seven straight defeats. Finished 8th, scoring 69 goals - just like Derby. Conceding 69, more than any other top 17 team.
     
    We'll just need to make sure we press their CB Jorgensen at every opportunity. He's uncomfortable on the ball and is a mistake waiting to happen. Really should be our only focus tomorrow. Do that and we'll win comfortably.

    I'm excited to see how Mourinho will line up his front men given there is no Mhki apparently.

    Will he play both Martial and Rashford either side with Mata in the middle or keep the status quo and just bring in Lingard to replace Mhki. Hopefully it's the former, though I'd like Martial to go central behind Lukaku and Rashford staying on that LW with Mata the other side.
     
    I expect Lingard to replace Mkhi. Mata will play behind Lukaku, Lingard on the right and Martial on the left.

    Same lineup but go ahead to name 3 exceptions :smirk:
     
    This would be chance for us to try Martial Mata Rashford behind Lukaku, sadly think Lingard will take number 10 spot and Mata will be on the flank again.
     
    Why in the prediction entry can you only go up to five goals?!

    What happens if you think it will be more than that??!
     
    It would be funny if Lingard starts at ten and not Mata.

    Yeah, could be:

    De Gea
    Valencia Smalling Jones Darmian
    Matic Herrera
    Young Mata Martial
    Lukaku​

    Subs: Romero, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Blind, McTominay, Lingard, Rashford

    Surely Lingard can do a better job than Young at RW. If he is below Young in the pecking order, why is he even here!
     
    As long as we win, then does it really matter who starts?

    We have zero strikers on the bench as Lukaku/Martial will both start, anyone in our youth group impressing?

    I'd have Hamilton up from the youth team because he can play multiple positions... Maybe Gribbin, but none of them in my opinion are close to being remotely ready to play in the PL.

    This will be a tough game if we can't get that early goal, they're a thorny team who dig in and Mooy could produce some of that bald magic.
     
    I'm sensing a 3-at-the-back in this one. Or starting with the attacking fullbacks (Young and Valencia) at the very least.

    Also, we're getting back on the 4:0 train this week, I'm feeling it.

    Hopeful that the big man Red Rom gets back on the goal trail after a couple of defensively strong, but short of chances games recently.

    Huddersfield have faded since that impressive string of wins and clean sheets early doors.
     
    They only scored 5 goals in the first 8 games. I don't think they'll be a threat for us at all going forward.

    The game depends on us breaking their defense down and score.
     
    bit of trivia for you.
    United last visit to Huddersfield Town was on October 9, 1971; United won 3-0 with George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton scoring, the last time United's 'Holy Trinity' all scored in the same match
     
    Anything other than a 7-0 hammering is unacceptable, its the least we can ask for if we have to watch such negative shite every week :angel:
