No Fellaini should give us a boost.
Will be 1-1 IMO. Sky are bastards for making both us and Everton play 12:45 after European commitments 
This is going to be extremely hard.
Is Donovan going to be playing?
Also, Heitinga has impressed me.

Evra deserves a break and I'd rather he plays the CC final.

Well, it's fair ground atleast. We should do em 2-1.
Everton looked pretty good this evening. Yakubu and Saha really combined well. I'd be worried if they played two up front against us.

we'll have to be on our game for this one - they've had a couple of decent results lately so they'll have a go.
I'd usually want us to play 4-5-1 in this one, but with Giggs and Nani out I think we will need Berbatovs creativity.
Nani is suspended and with Giggs out also, I'd go with Obertan on the left. Other than that, the team is spot on.
Possibly no Cahill either which is an even bigger blow for them.

If Vidic is fit, SAF may play Brown at RB to counter Everton's aerial attacks.
Also, I would play Valencia and Park and have Rooney up front.
No start for Berbatov. Why change a winning formation to accommodate him?

OberBerba time
He can play both you know.
He's played every league game this season and deserves a rest because he's looked a little jaded for the past 2-4 games. Which was certainly clear when i mentioned it, certainly dont see the sarcasm inducing part of it.
I'm Going first away, cant wait!
how good of an away is it? not that im fussy!

Well up for this, team should be confident, hope we get to see Berbatov. I have the feeling that, should Berbatov play as we all know he can and come into his best form for United yet. We really could do big things this season.
Hopefully Vidic will have passed his MOT in time for kickoff.
Is Arteta out as well? I heard something along those lines.
EDIT: Also no Pienaar? Didn't he get sent off in his last game? Or have they played another since?

Cahill has a calf strain, he is a doubt for the game.

Not sure about Arteta. I am pretty sure Pienaar was suspended for their previous game and should be available against United (correct me if I'm wrong).
Why the final? This game is considerably more important !
Because I want our best team to face Villa and win the CC. Add to that fact that Everton right now have a considerable amount of injuries so we can afford to rest him.
Couldn't think of many worse games to play following an European away tie than going to Everton for the early Saturday game.
It's always a difficult place to go.

Everton will be a tough game, we'll put out our strongest line up. Not to mention, that we've got West Sham before Villa, if Fergie thinks Evra looks jaded, then the West Sham game will be the better option to rest him in.
Personally I still think he could do with that rest. Rest being both the everton and hammers game. I'd have him fresh/rejuvenated for the run in after the CC final which is when we cannot afford to keep our best players out or have them tiring because the league looks like it will go right down to the wire.
Well that or atleast take him off early against everton IF we have a 2 goal lead and then rest him completely against the hammers. Either way I think he needs a bit of a break.

It's a good shout, I think Scholes will be on the bench instead of Welbeck though at least, maybe Anderson or a da Silva for The One.
Erm isnt welbeck on loan at preston?
I was trying to be subtle, but yes he is.
4-5-1
Should we unleash the Diouf or should we actually give Everton a chance?
Save him up for the Champions league final, me thinks/
Rafael should retain his spot at right back.
