    Koeman suggested Clyne would be fit...does anyone know if he is?

    Good.... I've been telling everyone at work he will be, also think that improves our chances of 3 points drastically.

    JWP in for Elia and he can come of the bench to rip them up with Long.

    That's the team I'd like to see FLT, I read the other day that we haven't scored a goal from a counter attack yet this season. That will change on Sunday and Elia will be involved, heard it here first <ok>

    I hadn't read that statistic but it doesn't surprise me. Whenever we get the chance to break away, the player with the ball runs like a greyhound, gets to the halfway line and starts to look a bit bewildered. They slow down, look for someone to pass it to and the break stops. It's as if passing has been drummed into them so much that they don't think past it. Of all people, my hero Steve Davis is pretty guilty when it comes to this. If he just ran at the opposition even at the risk of losing possession, no-one would blame him.

    To anyone playing the prediction game: WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE AND VAN PERSIE IS NOT GOING TO SCORE! We've just drawn against Chelsea and beaten Arsenal and will field a stronger team against a lesser team than those! (Beefy)

    Ideal game to play 352. Their 4 players who have played FB are all rated doubtful, so give Clyne and Berti plenty of cover to get amongst them. Their back 3 are pretty awful for a top team so let Elia show us some of his speed with People in support. Hopefully we have finally Sussex how to stop RVP from scoring

    We'll lose, but Davis will finally score this season.

    I'd like to see 3-5-2 as I do agree that I think we can get some joy down the flanks and Uniteds strength will be through the middle with Rooney/Mata/Di Maria.
    Also think Pelle & Long look happier as a front two

    I'd definitely go 3 CBs for this one, United have pretty much been playing 3 strikers consistently since Falcao got fit, so asking a huge amount of Vic and Morgan to both deal with Mata and Carrick and to consistently cover the runs from Rooney with both our CBs already covering players. With 4 at the back unless our wide players tuck in massively we will always be giving up a spare man. Also thought Pelle and Long did very well together against Everton and will be a good counter punch for us, and we'll have good attacking changes available for once.

    Anyone know of a good pub near the ground for a couple of pints before the game?
