Venue: Old Trafford Kick Off: 19:45 Preview according to BBC Sport Manchester United manager David Moyes is expected to hand record signing Juan Mata his debut. Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney trained on Monday and could make their return from injury, but skipper Nemanja Vidic is still suspended. Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to restore a host of players to his starting line-up after they began the FA Cup win at Bolton on the bench. Striker Jo Inge Berget, who has signed from Molde, could be involved. History The last outting between the two was in the 74/75 season at Old Trafford ending in a 4-0 victory for the home side. In the 13 matches played at Old Trafford between the two - United have claimed victory 5 times with Cardiff claiming twice. The other 6 were draws. Managers Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces the club he spent 11 years with as a player, however when asked what victory would mean, he said: "Three points, of course." David Moyes' team have lost four league games at home this season. With the new signing of Mata and the return of Rooney and Van Persie, the United Manager will be looking to take all 3 points this evening. My Prediction Just like every game we have played this season, this will be just as tough. I'm hoping and praying we can nab a sneaky goal or 2 to win the game, but would be over the moon to come away with a point! Lets hope for a great game either way!
Just getting ready to pick my Manc friend up and set off to the game. Can't wait. Still fancy us for a point. Been checking with him where the seats are. I'll be the one with the home fans jumping up and down when the city score (notice I said when and not if).
Ah well, no worse off and 50/50 possession. Time for the Viking invasion, take the game and rape and pillage - well leave that to JH. Lol!!!
ManU were well up for it to start with, but have simmered slightly after their initial burst. We need a bit of magic up front to give them something to worry about, might nick something then.
