7pm today at Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground.Live on MUTV.

With the COC game on Wednesday Wilson/Pereira will only play in either this match or vs. Boro.Suspect Wilson will play today though.

Harrop is out with an injury and seems CBJ also out (wasn't on the U19s squad for the game vs. CSKA).Mitchell and Willock are the other 2 injuries, not sure if they're already back on training.

Predicted XI: Henderson - Varela,Tuanzebe,Poole,Weir - Riley,Goss,Fosu-Mensah,Redmond, - Fletcher,Wilson

Subs: O'Hara,El-Fitouri,McTominay,Rathbone,Gribbin
 
Away at the League leaders will be a fair test but often depends on other commitments for the players.
Predict a draw.
 
Here's hoping Poole starts. I've got a good feeling about him.

Same here.

The likes of Joe Gomez and Alli have done well, no reason why Poole can't do the same. The fact that he's already training with first team is already a great thing.

To be fair he was probably only training with the first team because he was the only centre half available for the training with the u19s playing CSKA the next day which he wasnt eligible to play in and Williams away with England u17s but it will have been good for him nonetheless

Buzzkill.
 
Will be more interesting to see which players don't play today. I hope we dont see Wilson and Pereira in the team, means they're in the 1st team squad for the Boro game. Maybe even Varela, since Valencia is injured and he can play both RB and LB
 
Team - Johnstone, Varela, Tuanzebe, Borthwick-Jackson, Riley, Redmond, Willock, Fosu-Mensah, El Fitouri, Weir, Fletcher. Subs, Rothwell, O'Hara, Rathbone, Reid, Gribbin.
 
Anyone needs MUTV link?

United U21 line up; Johnstone, Varela, Tuanzebe, Borthwick-Jackson, Riley, El Fitouri, Redmond, Willock, Fosu-Mensah, Weir, Fletcher
 
Good to see Willock back and CBJ wasn't out for long.

Ei-Fitouri? :nervous:

Wilson,Pereira and possibly Goss with the first team then.
 
Didn't realise Harrop was injured.

Why have we only played 2 league games when the other teams have played 5-7?

Didn't realize it either until I saw his tweet about him at a hospital in Leicester with his bird.
 
Nice interview from Axel Tuanzebe there. Seems ambitious and determined with a good head on his shoulders.

Must be quite serious then - why Leicester?
 
In terms of individual attacking quality this is possibly one of the worst groups we have had in a while, hard to get excited about most of the players playing in attacking positions.
