Reserves: United v Liverpool
- Thread starter Neil Thomson
- Start date
Gary Neville is expected to face Liverpool tonight, in his toughest fitness test so far.
The recuperating defender is set to be named in Mike Phelan's line-up for the FA Premier Reserve League fixture, which is being played away at Chester City's Deva Stadium. The match will kick off at 19:00BST and will be screened live and exclusively by MUTV.
If Gary survives what is likely to be a highly competitive match, it will improve his chances of restarting his first team career against Tottenham on Saturday or Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. He was on the bench for the first time this season during Wednesday night's win over Maccabi Haifa.
Squad: Carroll, Neville, Tierney, Pugh, May, Fletcher, Chadwick, Stewart, Forlan, Nardiello, Richardson, Lynch, B. Williams, Rankin, M. Williams, Tate, Roche.

Won't be able to watch it tonight now after all. Can you provide updates mate?
If Gary is out there at the pitch, Man Utd won't have any difficulty!
He played for us v. Everton, and we lost - I think Liverpool beat us last season in the reserves, but not sure about that.
after a long time of resting. I think (he should be) get some confindence on his feet again!
He played great as it happens, at right back, its just Wayne Rooney was fantastic.
If you read my article you'd know he would be, and he is by the way. Its 0-0 after 17 minutes, most of the play has been Liverpool's and they've had two chances which Carroll has saved.
Forlan is actually playing, as is May of course.
Oh, and Stewart has made a miraculous recovery from his twisted ankle, hence why he was on the bench last night - and playing now.

Forlan misses sitter from eight yards out.
Cheers Neil - sounds like we're getting back into it
Forlan's back!!
1-0 to Pool!
Denied a penalty and then
1-0
H-T 0-1. I blame Veron.
Manchester born Mellor puts the Reds ahead.

After Gary Neville has a penalty disallowed, they break down that flank, launch an early cross, its taken forwards, Tate tries to tackle but we were struggling to get back and a through ball was played to Mellor who had an easy goal to slot home. Carroll had made some good saves, Forlan had a chance which he could have tried to head instead of putting his foot to it, Tate is showing quality better than his years in fact will probably make the premiership and hopefully for us.

Thanks Neil (my workstation has no sound ).
).First reserve game of the season for Fletcher isn't it?
May btw is now 32 and in his last year of his contract. Tierney has just had his 20th birthday. Gary is getting stuck in to his tackles, not worried about his foot at all.
Got a mate coming over in a minute, so I shan't be able to watch the rest. Liverpool have got a fair number of first teamers on the pitch like Berger, Babbel, Diomede, may be why they've performed better than us. Our reserves are mostly kids, and they can't handle physical stuff. Good to hear our fans are singing 'If you all hate scousers clap your hands'.
40 mins: Shocking miss from Diego Forlan from 5 yards outs. The Liverpool fans behind the goal all laugh as one.

I think Forlan had gained confidence shooting goals after the first ever goal!
Forlan dreams of being Heskey when he grows up!
I missed the second half, but the reports suggest we had the better second half, and equalised near the end from a penalty taken by Nardiello.
