In a style that compliments Linoge's one. :D

Newcastle away does sound tricky, though their form's been indifferent this year. They'll no doubt rest a few players and I'm hoping that we only too, rest a couple. With UTD only left we should give this competition a bloody good go.

Bentdner and Walcott should start for sure with Vela and Arshavin/Rosicky on the bench. Kos is returning to the side and I'd not bother risking him with the trip. Instead continue with Djorou, let him get a run in the side and well, if he does get injured we'll have a replacement for what 'should' be an easier game this weekend against W Ham. Eboue should play for Sagna. I think that Fab should be allowed to continue in goal, let him not only continue a run in the side, but continue what hopefully is the start of some good form.
 
I am a little worried against Newcastles height. We dont defend setpieces well and if they put their two strikers up front I can imagine them causing us big problems.

Hopefully we can out score them. Can't see a clean sheet against them though.
 
I'm hoping Chesney gets to start between the sticks tomorrow actually, if only to keep him from wanting to leave so soon.
 
Almunia? Hadn't realised he wanted to leave!

Edit - think that's why one of the goals he let in against W Brom was so annoying. Does it remind anybody of another he once let in?

Win win to be honest, you either get money or Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all out of the competition making it winnable
 
Man Utd: Amos, Brown, Smalling, Evans, Fabio Da Silva, Obertan, Carrick, Gibson, Park, Macheda, Bebe. Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, Hernandez, Rafael Da Silva, Brady, Eikrem, Morrison.

More changes than I expected, hope Macheda isn't utterly isolated again :(
