    Does anyone know which channels all around Europe/world who are broadcasting the game live? I know NBCSN might have it but I can't get a reliable stream with that channel :(
     
    Really hope that Rooney can spare us all the anxiety and leak the starting XI with Mkhi in it.
     
    It's Burnley at home, we shouldn't need to play Carrick in midfield, I would rather he play the Fenerbahce and Arsenal games.

    I'd play the same back five as the City game, maybe rest Valencia. Herrera, Pogba and Mata as a midfield three. Zlatan up top so he can try to get some confidence back. Not sure about out wide..

    Apparently Smalling, Rashford, Rooney, and Martial all have late fitness tests. I'd rather Smalling and Rashford miss the game even if they're passed fit. Hopeful Rooney is on the bench and Martial can start. Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin to come off the bench.

    De Gea
    Valencia Blind Rojo Shaw
    Herrera Pogba
    Lingard Mata Martial
    Ibrahimovic
    ---
    Schneiderlin, Rooney, Mkhitaryan​
     
    I would have absolutely loved to see this setup:

    back four
    herrera pogba
    mkhi mata lingard (rash injured I think, if not then him)
    ......martial

    But it won't be. Probably lingard for mkhi and martial for lingard\rash with Zlat starting up top.
     
    Early squad news

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan could make his United return against Burnley after he was spotted with the squad ahead of the fixture.

    The first-team avoided the usual waiting photographers at their city centre hotel the day before the match but a number of supporters met the players as they made their way to the meeting point.

    Among the stars spotted were Mkhitaryan, Juan Mata , Ashley Young, Marcos Rojo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jesse Lingard.

    I will go with the same lineup. Rashford should get a rest even if he's fit. This team should be good enough. I hop we'll see Mkhitaryan in action.

    Is that Phil Jones in the background? he has no chance of starting and is also training.
     
    Jones giving Miki death stares there for taking up some of the phsyio's time away from him.

    Well, due to the games he played in a row, I believe Blind would be rested if there was an alternative.

    Blind has a fantastic fitness level which allows him to recover and play more games than most of our other players.
    I think in his first season, he played more games than any other players.
    Only DDG generally plays more than Blind.
    So, I think Blind will be fine to play today.

    The problem is his partner - who will take the other CB birth? Rojo or Smalling.
    Smalling was absolute dogshite in his last (CFC) game. The best (or worst) example of this was the 4th goal against CFC. After the game, he was all smiles and seemed to be pretty pleased with what had happened.

    Logically, I'd pick Smalling.
    But emotionally, because he seemed to be so happy after his CFC game, I'd keep him benched and play Rojo, who played well in his last game.

    Against my better judgment, I think Mourinho will be so desperate for a victory tomorrow that he will force most players physically, risking injuries and bad performances.

    Jose has a great injury record, for all clubs he has managed, so I trust his judgement when it comes to playing players.
    Under LVG - I'd definitely have been concerned. Does anybody remember when our entire back line was injured? And the 2nd string defenders were also injured, so we had to play kids? I think it was against Bournemouth, away. We lost that match.

    Yeah - Varela, McNair, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson.

    Annual defensive injury crisis has been going back as far as under Fergie but last season was ridiculous.
     
    Anyone know if there's a radio commentary on this one pls?

    Early rumours suggest TWO changes
    My instant reply to this was ‘what the f**k’, but early rumours suggest Darmian and Lingard could come in for Valencia and Mata.

    That probably tops Fellaini and Young in for Lingard and Mata at Anfield for sheer surprise. Unless the aforementioned duo are injured, they seem to be illogical selection decisions when United only have a Europa League game on Thursday and next play in the Premier League next Sunday. Mata was definitely one of the squad members who arrived at The Lowry.

    Of course, this could be another tactic to flush out the mole, the - spoiler alert - Bill Haydon of the drama. The team leaked for the Fenerbahce game had one error - Fosu-Mensah at right-back instead of Darmian.

    Must be injuries if so, Mourinho loves himself some Valencia, also for a home game I think he will favour Mata.

    Fecking mole though, I hope he is properly hung out to dry when he is smoked out. I don't care if it is one of my old time favourites like Carrick, this shit has got to stop.
     
    I hope Ibra starts. He played a lot for PSG last year and I think he's rather in need of playing time instead of a rest. He will get a rest after next weekend anyway unfortunetely. Would have liked him to play twice a week and be as fit as last year.
     
    Lingard at the front of the group
    Suggestions Lingard will start today in place of the excellent Juan Mata. Hopefully it means Carrick can do two games in four days.

    Depay with the squad
    Memphis was at the Lowry - but will he make the bench? Mourinho always travels with a couple of players over the 18 just in case.
