    Details are sketchy so I won't add any.

    Guaranteed win given my success rate.

    <ok>

    Think we are going to struggle in this one, hopefully Di Maria is fit to start.

    I'm confident we will win this game. At home we have been very strong this season, it's the away games that worry me:biggrin:

    You're as depressing as Dave ffs Style.

    We've not struggled against any side at home since the opening day and we've played sides as good if not better than Saints during that time.

    Well based on their current form and our last match against them I can't really see us strolling to a win!

    Our last home game we most certainly did stroll to a win.

    We are a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde team right now. At home I fancy us against anyone.

    That's how I feel about Saints. Not confident of getting anything from you lot at Old Trafford, but one thing is for sure; the legend that is Ronald Koeman will be after all 3 points. Should be a good game.

    Hi guys,

    Need some help with my FPL team :D

    I need a replacement for Zabaleta, thinking of a Man United defender.

    Firstly, do you think that's a wise investment!? How do you rate your chances of clean sheets in the next 3, with Southampton, QPR and us?

    Secondly, which defender is the most nailed on? Evans? Jones? Neither!?

    I didn't know that you guys had played against Real Madrid, one of the teams better than us!! Who else? Chelsea and that is it of teams better than us who you have played at OT!!!

    The saints will be a real test.

    A good performance and result will confirm that we have left the brief ill fated Moyes era behind. And will show that we are on our way (but not quite there) towards our old OT dominance over the opposition.

    Should be a good game on Sunday. You can't possibly be as bad as you were at St Marys and your home record is very good since the opening day. I think a lot will depend on whether Clyne is fit or not. Do you think you will play 3 at the back? As I would fancy our chances more if that was the case.

    I cannot see us playing as poor as the St Mary's match. We had 2 shots and 2 chances the whole game and I still cannot work out how we got 3 points. This was ruthless finishing at its most extreme.

    At OT I would be be very surprised if we were under the same pressure. I fully expect LVG to play 3 at the back with 2 WBs. That is the formation he is most comfortable with and he'll only play 4 at the back if he is forced to.

    The Saints are very good team and are playing well. But it is absolutely crucial for United to get 3 points. 3 draws in a row is poor and is the same as 2 defeats (and one win) in three matches. From now on, LVG will have to instill the all out for the 3 points philosophy that SAF had. It is better to sacrifice 1 point to get that extra 2.

    I would not sacrifice 1 point to get that extra 2, in this game, otherwise I would.
