Nani's back!!!
Positives: Nani and Rafael back and Hernandez starts.
Negatives: No Rooney, Rio or VDS and a possible lack of creativity from central midfield.

Good lineup. Rio rested, Nani returns. Berbarito up front. Smalling gets a chance. Another chance for Gibson to excel too.
Why on earth do you hope Evans get playing time? Do you want injury on a defender?
Yes they are along with Owen, Amos, Evans and Obertan.
s #SCFC XI: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Collins; Tuncay, Delap, Wilson, Whitehead, Etherington; Jones
Dam Tuncay starts. He seems to love playing against us.

hughferris No Rio Rooney or VDS for #mufc: Kooshack. Rafa, Vidic, Smalling, Evra. Nani, Fletch, Gibson, Giggs. Berbatov, Hernandez
On the #mufc bench: Amos, Owen, Anderson, Carrick, Fabio, Obertan, Evans
No Rooney Rio or VDS
Should be enough to beat stoke. Solid back 4.
Good stuff, plenty of options then, I'm happy with that squad, cheers mate.
First league game Rio has missed since September
Possible? Today creativity is going to be absolutely nil. Hope the wingers do a good job.
Good team
apart from PIG. Ther return of NANI !

And Kuzchak.
Fletcher and Gibson in midfield?
I usually stand up for them but have to say I'm shitting it about the two of them playing at once...

Owen's bound to play atleast 20 mins tonight, might be worth a cheeky punt for last scorer.
I'd laugh if we win 3-0, with Gibson having a hand in each
Gibson is a very capable passer when he's on his game, rather than assuming the worst should we not hope that all our players do a good job?
I was reading that Rio's penalty foul on Saturday was the first foul he had committed all season, but I am unsure if this is true. Amazing if it is true.
Give him some credit, he's not so bad all of you are trying to make out he is. Gibson ahead of Anderson is more worrying.
It is indeed true.
Giggs/Evra and Nani/Rafael must have good game down the wings. That is a solid pairing on both sides.
Anderson has started 8 straight games though. Considering how bad his stamina used to be I'd say that's pretty good, he's probably getting used to playing in a run of games.
Is it on sky with the red button? As I cannot see it on the listings.
First since March, believe it or not.
If Berbatov has a bad day today, we'll have feck all creativity from the centre.
Gibson as centre mid.
Good, good.
Good, good.
Fair enough. Just don't like the idea of Gibson playing next to Fletcher. In fact, I don't like the idea of Gibson playing at all.
It's not televised in the UK.
Not televised
Don't worry it's at home wer are usually top at home.
No mate - highlights on later though.
That is extraordinary.
Against Stoke at Home?
Fletcher isn't playing though..
YEah what's this Fletcher thing? It's carrick in there with him.
Come on Darron, show us what you can do in the centre.
Is it Carrick or Fletcher beside Gibson now?!
Is it Carrick or Fletcher beside Gibson now?!
Let's hope they have a good game and leave the creativity to Nani/Giggs.
I have also high hopes for the Berbarito partnership.
No wait, it is Fletcher
