Hopefully not Anderson on the left.
Manchester United v West Ham United

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I am guessing it is too big of a risk to play both Vidic and Rio at the same time after both players have had too long a break. It makes sense if SAF has no doubt about Rio's match fitness at all that he isn't playing him. Just get Vidic through a game unscathed (knock on wood), and Rio and Vidic will be the line-up on Sunday.
Träsch 
Holy CRAP BALLS!!!
Clearly Kuzza gets the final, don't imagine Foster to get much action, it'll be like the Valencia friendly or the last West Ham game, all he has to do is stay awake.
I'm worried about Neville and Foster tonight - West Ham have a lot of talent out there...
If there's one player I'd have liked to see rested it would have been Rooney but I think SAF is banking on big performances from Scholes and Rooney, as well as some kind of reaction from Anderson.

Well after the last few performances by PIG before VDS came back YES, Foster had to be given a chance.
Yea, with one game in the last 3/4 weeks, Rio must be knackered.
Where the feck is he?
Was desperate see a Vidic Rio axis tonight.
Didn't Gibson play at Upton Park when we won 4-0?
Yeah, he scored that great goal.
Maybe Fergie is giving Rio an extra match ban as he thinks the appeal was frivilous?
Stream Anyone?
Last chance to impress?
Doubt that was the reason, Foster's got a chance not because Kuszczak struggled in the Fulham game but because there exists an agreed rotation for these games, I'd expect Foster getting West Ham and Kuszczak getting Villa ... just look at the last few benchs ... Kuszczak-Foster-Kuszczak-Foster ... clearly signs of a rotation policy.
Very very strange line-up. I had hoped we'd seen the last of Foster in a United shirt, Gibson is not a good player at all, expect him to have 5 shots, and if one of them goes in, he will be hailed as the next Scholes. The omission of Carrick and Fletcher is strange to say the least, as is playing only one winger. We'll be lucky to get a win out of this.
Didn't Gibson score two beauties at Upton Park early on in the season?
That's how it's done, JayWalker.
I think we can win, but I dont expect any really good football.
Surprised to see Foster and Gibson in the line-up with Carrich, Rio and Van der Sar left out entirely. Good to see Anderson and Vidic back. Hopefully they'll have a great game. 2-0 United.
Spastic post of the day.
From reading the texts, Twitter and 606 missives, I conclude there are some panicking Man United fans out there. In my vast experience of doing these text commentary thingies, a wacky Fergie team selection usually leads to a United win. That's not a prediction, by the way. It's merely an observation - BBC
I agree with him.
I agree with him.
Easy win here. Hopefully that'll shut the doomsayers up.
Rio might as well have gone ahead with that appeal to the FA, least we could have a good old whinge at his absense!!
Will we ever see our best defense together again???

Some of you need to grow some balls. I dont see why we cant win this game at Home. It's a slightly unusual selection but this group of players dont let us down too often.
Im a bit concerned about the midfield so let's hope Scholes and Gibson dominate possession properly. Anderson on the wing hasnt really worked but now is a another chance for him to give it a go.

It's not, in fairness all that wacky. What would be the point of our squad if we can't play them just because people on here throw a fit? Ridiculous.
Tonight's match not on tele, right?
Forgive me for being a bit pessimistic when we play only 5 first team players in a must win game.
Of course we can win, but so can they.
Nope, got a stream if you want one.
Holy CRAP BALLS, veetle stream anyone?
Stream please
Just the one, Scholes scored, Valencia scored and Rooney scored ... all four start. Gibson scored again against Spurs in the Carling game around that time.
Thanks for explaining how this is different to a normal match.
Then you'll look stupid for complaining if we do win.
It can't be that hard to wait until after the game to complain.
OMG what a revelation. Next you'll tell me the team with the most goals at the end of the match will be declared the winner.
Rio is probably not ready to play 2 matches a week.
I reckon Parker being out could be a key issue for West Ham tonight, i think they will miss him, and out weakened midfield will be less pressured as a result of his absence.
Anyone got a sopcast stream, or do they just not work any more?
I thought he scored one
