subs: Lindegaard, Valencia, Hernandez, Nani, Cleverley, Kagawa, Buttner
 
Sexy lineup, very attacking. I don't really give a feck about the result, but as long as we don't go out there like frightened teenage girls like we did in the same fixture last year, I'll be glad. Could be a few goals in this one!

The official line up is different.
 
Young over Smalling then.

This should go down well...

Got 10/11 of the team correct. I expected Rio to start instead of Smalling.

Hardly an inspiring team selection there, it has to be said. Looks pretty defensive to me.

*EDIT: Scratch that, a different XI has been posted now. Young in place of Smalling with Jones moving to CB.
 
I was fooled by Twitter! That's a nice line up, would have liked to see Kagawa though.
 
So Smalling, Vida and Evans are all injured?
Excellent.
 
Our midfield is going to get overrun. Good luck Carrick.

That line up is wrong.
 
Jones at the back and Giggs in a midfield 2 with Carrick? fecking hell not confident at all with that to be honest.
 
Oh good, Giggsy and Carrick in midfield against Barry, Milner, Toure and Silva. Should go well.

Just wait. Jones is going to have a blinder. Yaya toure will not get much space at all.

Except Jones is in defence so he won't be able to stick to him. This could be a tough one with the likes of Tevez, Nasri and Silva floating about while Giggs tries some hollywood passes from the middle.
 
How the feck does Young get into the starting 11? he's one of SAF first names on the team sheet it seems.

I hope im proven wrong but that really doesn't look like a good setup to play City in my opinion, Giggs in a midfield 2, Jones at CB and Young on the wing is asking for trouble.

Milner and Silva are counted as midfielders but Welbeck and Rooney aren't. Well done.
 
Carrick and Giggs in midfield, that always works.
Ashley Young rewarded for his good form with a start.
 
Smalling, Evans and Vidic not even in the 18? Haven't been very plugged in the last week or so, but what? All injured?
