Manchester United v Everton

Tough game, but 2-0 win I reckon. City will at least match that scoreline against Wolves, though.

SAF will probably take Young out of the 'firing line' at first and bring Nani in as the only change. Welbeck should start after finally scoring again, however, I think he should be replaced early in the second half for Cleverley, so we can test the starting line-up that I think will face Man City.
 
This was the team for Everton against Liverpool in the Cup:

Tim Howard
Phil Neville
John Heitinga
Sylvain Distin
Leighton Baines
Tim Cahill
Leon Osman
Darron Gibson
Marouane Fellaini
Nikica Jelavic
Magaye Gueye
 
Drenthe and Pienaar will be back and it'll strengthen them a lot
 
What is this about Drenthe signing a pre-contract with Liverpool?
What do your Itks say Sean?
 
I think Drenthe was caught doing coke or something, not sure if that's just one of these rumours but apparently he's been doing a lot of shit during his time here and Moyes has just become fed up and good on him. Can be a cracking player but he's an idiot, i'd not care now if he did go to Liverpool as he'd probably end up disrupting them further (please).

Baines out is fecking gutting, him and Pienaar are our main threat down that left hand side and without him we are significantly weaker.

Looks like it will be Hibbert and Neville as fullbacks for the rest of the season.
 
No Baines should at least mean we don't get done by a silly free kick that wasn't a free kick in the last minute :D

Fergie seems to have managed Young perfectly. He's clearly had a quiet word with him in private about not going down as easy, but to keep up what he's been doing. But at the same time, he's said he got a knock and hopes he's OK. This just means Nani will start I reckon.

Young's start of the season form and form over the last month or so has been top class. I was surprised to see how much people were gunning for Nani to start as soon as he'd started training. Nani is a better player for sure, but we should be playing our form players right now. However, over the last two games we've been given an excuse to let Nani start this one (not that one was needed). I'm sure he'll make a difference in the last few games.

Win this and the league should be done, but I'd still love to win it at City, or at least avoid defeat there to make it pretty much certain.
 
Billy the russian is unavailable.. Scored a cracker against us.
But double agent Gibbo will be a threat
 
"Just to make things clear. I got kicked in the knee 3 days ago. Tried to train with the team, but still a bit painful and sore. We decided not to be involved tomorrow. So please, no speculation. Good luck to the boys tomorrow, and enjoy the game."

On Berbatov's Facebook page, seems he's out of tomorrow's game.

I was trying to work out which player you were until I saw the bit underneath, should have been in quotes!

Why is it a 12.30 am kick-off instead of a 1.30 pm kick-off?

Dunno. Wasn't the game at Goodison at 12pm for no obvious reason on a Saturday after United had been away in Europe? Wasn't even on TV, so feck knows why this fixture is scheduled as if it is a high risk one, which it clearly isn't.
 
Police orders probably (the reason for the early kick-offs at Goodison anyway are due to the trouble there in 2005).
