With Newcastle falling apart this is a great chance to get even more space between us. Go in strong for this game and the team will lift itself for the next two cup games. Lets go full strength (minus Casemiro of course).

Attempting to rotate our squad for the Barcelona game. I don’t see how Bruno, Rashford, Shaw and Varane can possibly start without killing their energy for Thursday.
Didn’t know McTominay was eligible, if so fine play him next to sabitzer but I’d honestly prefer a cb being moved there.
That was a mistake
He’s on better form now than last time, no?
He was horrific last game.
Would be huge to be able to start Martial in the cup final. Antony coming back will be great as well.
Yeah + we need as many players available as possible so we can rotate more vs West Ham in Fa Cup. It's mad schedule, we're about to play like 4 games in 4 different competitions in 10 days.People are going over board here with rest and rotation.
Only players who are playing more are Bruno, Rashford , Shaw and De gea. Shaw and De gea I don’t see any issues with playing 2 games a week.
Bruno is generally fit and wants to play every game and we don’t have any replacement anyway.
Rashford is only player who I would like to rest but he is also the only one scoring goals so he needs to start.The only player we really need to ensure that's rested is Varane considering his injury history. Starting Thursday we should have some players back. Possibly tomorrow but almost certainly for Thursday.
We can afford to rotate a little and hopefully win the game to rest the others who need it.
Yup, agree. Rasford, Fred and bruno are the ones I worry about since they seem invaluable to the team right now. In the other areas, we seem to have okayish cover
D'oh. Totally spaced that he's still suspended.We can take nothing for granted in this match. With Casemiro out the midfield will not be as solid, and Leicester can be really dangerous on the break with Ian Nacho.
Would take any kind of win.I would take a draw. Feel like we might lose from tiredness and lack of depth as Leicester have been playing well recently.We will win. We're fecking great nowI think only question marks will be whether Dalot comes in for AWB and if we choose to rest Varane for Maguire. Sabitzer and Martinez will start, Shaw back to left back.
Without Casemiro we can’t really afford to rotate too much.Just need to carry on the momentum. I think this week is absolutely huge and while a crash will come at some point, I think it's far more likely to come after the cup final to have a bit of a bad run. Need to carry it on tomorrow though. Start strong, get an early goal and then it'll be open for us to counter them all day.Expect Varane to be rested for Barca and Newcastle (and then rested again in Fa Cup to be fresh for Liverpool).
De Gea, AWB, Maguire, Martinez, Malacia, Sabitzer, Fred, Bruno, Sancho, Rashford, Weghorst.
I’d be buzzing with a win. Not sure we’ll get it though.ETH ain't resting no oneTime to reel in closer to Peppy and his ridiculous squad
Mixed day of results somewhat
Take a draw at home to a club 14th in the league . I swear this place

I just hope we don't get embarrassed, and everyone on both teams has a good time.
yeah I think all usual suspects will start, but I really hope he takes off Rashford and Bruno around 60 min as we'll hopefully have the game wrappedTake a draw at home to a club 14th in the league . I swear this place
Think we could be definitely affected by Thursday,still can't stomach that Arsenal winner hours later. Shot at going within 3 of top spot GONE by a lucky strikeDalot or AWB. Varane or Maguire. Shawdini/Shawberto or Martinez/Malacia. The rest of the team picks itself.Casemiro gets his rest anyway.
Maguire will start
Probably wise to start Malacia too
Rashy to only play 60mins max ideally.
You'd think Sancho/Antony/Garnacho can handle this game without him either way.This is a banana skin for you.
Sandwiched between Barca games plus the Casemiro suspension against an in form team leaves you to be on your guard.
Yeah European hangovers happened under FergieTake a draw at home to a club 14th in the league . I swear this place
Did you see us at home to Leeds?Reckon there will be 2, possibly max 3 changes for this with the Barcelona game on Thursday and also the cup final next Sunday. Still a strong side and confident we will get the win.

Manchester United 3-1 Leicester City
So you made 4?Is Maguire ahead of Lindelof now? I will take him over Magz to rest Rafa
Yes, possibly isHave to ask : do we have any rest sometime in this crazy schedule ?
Not every game is going to be the War of the Roses.
Local rivalry …new manager bounce
Have you seen us the last few weeks ?
Ya we absolutely dominated them. Their 2nd goal should have been easily dealt with and it came from a rare Varane mistake
Maguire is second choice RCB. Lindelof is a utility for now at RCB, LCB or DMDefinitely a banana skin match after coming off such a difficult match in Barcelona, short test and playing them again on Thursday.
With city and newcastle dropping points though this win could really solidify top 3
It’s absolutely frightening what some fellow fans come up with! What the hell is this?It would be great theatre for Maguire to start and gift Leicester the winning goal through one of his brain farts.
I can only hope.
Even better if he powers in a header to grab the three points... just to see the reaction from all the haters on here
