Manchester United vs. Bolton Wanderers

No Ferdinand and no Vidic. But at least we have Evans and Park back in the squad. A much needed boost. Its sad Ferdinand's season is over. I doubt he can carry on playing longer because his injuries are really getting worse.
 
Let's just get through this one by hook or by crook and get a nice rest (well for some).
 
Got a feeling Fergie will play Vidic today. It's such a crucial game I can't see us playing it without any of Vidic/Rio/O'Shea/Rafael
 
United's injured XI

Anders Lindegaard (knee)
John O’Shea (hamstring)
Rio Ferdinand (calf)
Nemanja Vidic (calf)
Jonny Evans (ankle)
Rafael (hamstring)
Owen Hargreaves (hamstring)
Darren Fletcher (illness)
Anderson (knee)
Ji-Sung Park (hamstring)
Michael Owen (groin)

that team would beat bolton. FACT

I'm already feeling a bit down about the international break :( Be sure to enjoy this game.

I think both Owens, Park and Evans nearly back.
 
We're at home.

We'll win, and it will be a comfortable win too.

I guarantee Rooney will score from a header that will come in from a cross on the right after Nani/Valencia skins Paul Robinson.

Rooney will have moved away from his marker (Wheater) and will have positioned himself inbetween the 2 centre halves.

We have too many defenders missing to win this one comfortably. Bolton will score, and I feel it will be more than one. Nani and Valencia will have to be on top of their game if we are to win this one. We'll need to use our width in order to overcome a defense which will happily sit back, especially if they are to defend a lead.

I hope VDS can keep up his incredible form, if he does I have no worries even with Fletcher and Carrick as CBs.
 
Vidic is a big loss against Davies who is superb in the air. Although Smalling has definitely improved in his heading and improved body strength. Elmander too, so I am quite worried Vidic is not playing today.

Elmander will be on the wing.
 
We have come to the day where people actually fear Elmander, thought we'd never get there.

I am actually really happy about this international break - because we can probably get 3-4 of these players back in time for the next league game

Hargreaves isn`t arrived with the team.

So no Hargreaves today

How do you know he didn't arrive at 10 this morning to have treatment and to get his muscles prepared,

Wasn't expecting him to play either way!
