    Please rotate.

    Not sure how much we can rotate. Not sure if Sancho and Martial are ready to start, same with Sabitzer. Would imagine we play a full strength team with the hope that we can get 1 or 2 goals by the 60 min mark to then make changes. At this stage of the season I still don't think we have the luxury to do too much rotating. All it takes is 1 or 2 poor results and all of a sudden top 4 comes into question etc. For me the Forest away, Reading home, Forest home run of games have been physical and mental walks in the park for our team so I wouldn't imagine that they would need too much resting after those games.
     
    How great did we look when Martial, Rashford and Sancho came on in the second half .. it was a joy to watch.

    Just imagine a world class striker there with Sancho and Antony hitting their potential.

    Hopefully Sabitzer comes in and even improves the midfield ..

    Things really looking positive, long may it continue.

    Completely agree. After what was possibly going to be a depressing window the signings of a back up striker and an Eriksen replacement.. as well as multiple players coming back from injury at the same time, we’re starting to look like we got some real quality in depth now.

    Still in all the competitions, top 4 looking more likely than ever and hopefully a new ownership on the horizon.. exciting times indeed!

    It looked great for about 15 minutes but when Harry and Victor came on it seemed to stall. Hopefully the good football was a taster of things to come!
     
    Zaha is out. So that’s a big plus. Hate seeing him riling up the opposition and can’t stand him. Still Olise and Eze are a handful but this time we will control them
     
    Strong line up. Sabitzer bench come on for Fred later on. Martinez starts as does Varane, for Me, I'd even start Martial and bring on wout later on. Sancho I'd Start as well, 60 mins then bring on Antony or Garnacho. .

    DDG.. AWB..Varane.. Martinez. .. Shaw..
    ............Fred.....Casimero..
    Sancho....Bruno... Rashford..
    ...........Martial......
    I bet I got it way off.
     
    They need pummelling as recompense for their crimes last time.

    A nice 4-0 thrashing leading to a losing run, relegation, players leaving, fan revolts, successive subsequent relegations and liquidation/extinction should do it.
     
    I think Sabitzer starts


    Will Sabitzer be involved tomorrow?
    ETH:     Yes


    How good is Sabitzer?
    ETH:    Very good. Of course, he did only one session but you can see he's a very fit player and I didn't have diff expectations coming from Bayern Munich, German, their fitness is always good. I think he is ready to play.    "

    Great to see Sancho available. Garnacho and Sancho are great options at the moment for creativity, along with the others in the team!!
     
    De Gea
    AWB--Varane--Martinez--Shaw
    Casemiro--Fred
    Antony--Fernandes--Rashford
    Weghorst

    Subs: Heaton; Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia, Dalot; Sabitzer; Sancho, Garnacho, Martial
    ​
     
    De gea
    AWB - Licha - Rafa - Shaw
    Sabitzer - Casemiro
    Antony - Bruno - Rashy
    Martial

    ​
    Team picks itself and if ETH thinks Sabitzer is ready then why not get him in straight away.

    He can also put Sancho on the right instead of Antony…

    I am kind of unhappy that the feckwit Zaha is out...I was hoping he would piss off Casemiro the same way the Forest lad did in the last game and reap the consequences of Casa's anger.

    Can't stand Zaha and his antics...if that's not obvious.
     
    Hoping for a good Utd performance & win on my birthday. First time in a long time, we have options to choose from bar Eriksen but the signing of Sabitzer could prove to be a very shrewd one. ETH suggested that he could start and I reckon he will. Sancho & Martial to get more minutes coming off the bench, possibly even the whole 2nd half if we are in a very comfortable lead at HT.

    De Gea

    Wan-Bissaka - Varane - Martinez - Shaw

    Casemiro - Sabitzer

    Antony - B.Fernandes - Rashford

    Weghorst​

    Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, Pellistri, Sancho, Garnacho, Martial

    Sancho, Weghorst, Sabitzer to come on as subs. Nice to have depth for once! Any news when Dalot is back?

    Same for me but I expect Martial to come off the bench one more time at least before getting a full hour.

    Went with the same line up but Fred for Sabitzer. ETH doesn’t usually throw them in immediately. Wout was the exception because we were desperate for a striker at the time with Martial out and limited wing options.
     
    It's a good opportunity to give Sabitzer a start given it's probably our easiest game on paper this month. But Fred doesn't really deserve to lose a starting spot.

    Our recent record against Palace is pretty awful. This won't be an easy game if we don't take them seriously.

    Dalot in line to return for this

    ETH: "I think Diogo is doing quite well," the boss told us. "In the last couple of days, he has been back in the team training and [if] his training today goes well, he can also return to the squad tomorrow [Saturday]."

    He’ll be on the bench I reckon. AWB has the inside scoop on Palace. Shame Wilf isn’t fit, Aaron could have pocketed him again :D
     
    De Gea
    AWB--Varane--Martinez--Shaw
    Casemiro--Fred
    Antony--Bruno--Rashford
    Weghorst

    Martial, Sancho, Sabitzer, Dalot to come on in the second regardless of the scoreline.
    And take Bruno off if we're winning comfortably in the second half.​
