Will be interesting to see what the line up is at the weekend.
I expect Evans, Smalling, Fabio and Lindegaard to start. Obertan has a very good chance of starting too. Will be interesting to see where Obertan starts if he does start. Mostly played as a winger for the first team, but very much an AMC/ST for the reserves. Could see him start as part of a front 3. Brown and O'Shea will likely come into contention too.
Could see a back five of Lindegaard, Brown, Smalling, Evans, O'Shea - with Fabio playing in midfield, as he has done for the reserves on a number of occasions.
One or both of Chico/Owen will start - not sure if Fergie will play both together. Will be interesting to see if he starts Rooney to try and help him gain some confidence in his game.
Lack of options on the wing though. Giggs won't start imo - will be held back for the Villa game on Tuesday. Nani is the only other senior winger we have, so I wonder if he will start - no other options but will Fergie try to rest him? Again, this is where Fabio playing on the wing could be an option.
Could see us going 433 again, similar to last night, but dropping Nani for Obertan (amongst other changes).
Can't think of any of the reserve team that I would expect to be on the fringes of this game. Pogba, maybe, but i don't know. Morrison would be one I would love to see, but no chance of that happening imo.
Anyone know if Matt James is fit at the moment? Could see him come into contention for an appearance in midfield if he is. Haven't seen him play for the reserves though so I presume he is out injured.
