MUTV coverage starts today at 6:30 pm bst.
Do we still have to play Spurs twice?
No, we already lost at their place, 1-3 on the 15th of February.

Line-ups
Ando, Smalling and Buttner, seem's a very strong reserve team... be good to see how Ando and Powell do... who outshines the other
I like the idea of Powell and Januzaj up front for some reason.
Any idea of rivers for youth games or is it the usual creek's?

This could be a very good match. A few players expected to play today could be fighting for regular spots in the next couple of years.
Line-ups
Probably will look like this, perhaps with Thorpe and Veseli switching places.
Johnstone
Vermijl Smalling Veseli Buttner
Cole Thorpe Anderson Lingard
Powell Januzaj
Vermijl Smalling Veseli Buttner
Cole Thorpe Anderson Lingard
Powell Januzaj
Hopefully Anderson plays amazingly
What an exciting line up.
Rivers people?
usual suspects
Very cold, ref says okay to play but if the temperature drops significantly he may call it off mid-game.
Thankyou kind sir, I only know of one and it uses fake hair and is a bit wizzy
Old hairy rarely lets you down. Kinda surprised really it's still around! Must be run in Sweden underground.
Does the job
Watch out for Zeli Ismail. Looked quality for Wolves reserves this season
Wolves are the only team that beat Spurs, the current group leaders. They came back from 0-2 and 2-3 to win 4-3, so there will be no safety in sitting on a lead against these guys.
Is he a flair player at all? I know his name and it may be from FM [by flair, I mean AM, Wing etc)
Hopefully it's not called off.
MUTV suggesting it will be Powell as a lone striker and Thrope at cb.
Sir Alex is at the game.
Veseli in midfield with Ando then.
Can play on both wings. Likes to cut in aswell, very good running at defenders, plenty of skill on his locker.
Ismail sent off for a challenge on Smalling.
What a fecking bellend.
zeli ismail gets a straight red for a poor tackle on Chris Smalling
Shocking challenge, looks like Smalling's alright.
Wolves doing pretty well keeping men behind the ball, we've been a bit slow at times to switch play.
We've been working down the left through Buttner a fair bit, and this last run set him free in the box and he made a nice square pass to Powell, who took a snap shot that was several feet wide of the near post.
Best chance so far though.
Best chance so far though.
Johnstone seems to lose his bearing at the last minute and saves a ball that was going wide and gives Wolves a corner, which bounces around for a moment but results in a free kick for United.
I can't help but love Alex's little stepovers. There is something slightly uncomfortable about them that is quite endearing!
