Fletcher and Scholes as CM's, Nani with Valencia on the wings.

Sunderland are very average at the back, we should be able to break them down even though Bruce's teams are usually hard to beat.

What channel is it on?
I'm hoping Giggs will play as I'll be there!

You should. I got to see Scholesy when I was over the first time, it was a thing of beauty
Sunderland were terrible defensively against wolves last sunday, I say we should be able to go out all guns blazing and win this won comfortably.
3-0 Nani, Rooney(2)

Has Campbell been playing at all for them?
espn
Not a great deal no, it's been mainly Bent up on his own or Bent and Jones
I doubt Sunderland will come to Old Trafford and play the same pathetic game they attempted last season against us.
Bruce will have a go, and just like his wigan side every time they came to Old Trafford, will concede a fair few.

Brown - just think this may be the game for him and Sheasy's done well recently so he may get a rest.
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra
Nani
Carrick
Fletcher
Park (if fit)
Rooney
Berbatov
SUBS: Kuszczak, O'Shea, Evans, Anderson, Scholes, Valencia, Giggs.

I would like Nani to play, but I fancy Giggs vs. Bardsley.
I think we may see Nani - Fletcher - Scholes - Giggs midfield.
Nani was rested yesterday, Fletcher played only eight minutes and Scholes with Giggs are going to have some days for relax after Sunderland game, because of international break.
I agree that this will be the team and I also think it should be the team.
I wonder was Fergie watching the reserves last night? Id love to see Eikrem make the bench. His goals last night were unreal

His second was sensational. We're spoilt for choice in midfield at the moment, though.
I'd like to see young Josh King get a place on the bench meself. He looks like a real handful and we could do with some more options up front.
He's smart enough to have noticed that the 11 men behind the ball stuff that some lesser teams try to play virtually never works at Old Trafford. This is one game he's 95% likely to lose whatever the tactics, so why got give the fans some entertainment?
My thoughts exactly.
I'm going the match tomorrow. Should be a good spectacle from our POV. I'm gutted that Giggs will most likely not play though.
Sunderland were really poor defensively against Wolves - the 5-2 scoreline really flattered them.

Nothing wrong with a bit of squad rotation. Hopefully we can pull away from Chelsea a bit after this game.

Isn't he suspended for three games?
I think he's to miss also Sunderland and Bolton.
No, only one game. It wasn't violent conduct.
we loose 0-2 ( rooney 89 and 91 min o.g)

This is what I'd like to see. I'm hoping in particular that Carrick will get a bit of a run in the side so he can carry on his mid-week form.
But I reckon Park, Scholes and Neville will play at the expense of Valencia, Carrick and O'Shea.
Good luck all....!
Thanks, i'll try to put a lot of crosses in this time though.
Cheers, after the burnley defeat i've done quite well to put United in the position theyr'e in.
Hopefully my consistency can continue.
It always make me a bit nervous when we line up without
at least one of Giggs/ Scholes.
Can someone PM me with a stream link - would be ever so grateful
Hope Nani, Ando, Berba and Fletch all start
