Manchester United vs Liverpool 09/01/11 and other 3rd round FA Cup matches *SPOILERS*

This is/was our rumoured 11 for today:
------------Reina
Johnson--Agger-Skrtel--Aurelio
--------Meireles-Lucas
-Kuyt------Gerrard------Maxi
------------Torres

However it's now being reported that Johnson's wife has gone into labour and he's out. Obvious replacement would be Kelly.

I've got a bad feeling about this.
 
Team as above is confirmed (Kelly in for Johnson obviously). Hopefully it's a 4-2-3-1 with Gerrard off Torres and not a 4-4-2 with Meireles on right.
 
United:

Kuszczak

Rafael
Evans
Ferdinand
Evra

Nani
Carrick
Fletcher
Giggs

Hernandez
Berbatov

SUBS: Lindegaard, Fabio, Smalling, Anderson, Gibson, Obertan, Owen.

Assuming this is the team, as I haven't seen this reported yet:

Midfield better be composed and on their game. Rest of the team looks good enough.

Don't personally share the pessimistic attitude towards Evans. Although I would defend a fellow countryman! :D

Been confirmed by several sources, including all of the Manutd.com and reporters on twitter - Along with it just being put up on MUTV.
 
I worry that Fletcher & Carrick won't turn up.

The bench doesn't fill me with confidence that there's someone that can move us forward if we're in a bit of a pickle either.

Before Woys sacking I thought we'd lose, and even more so now.

Cheer up lads, bit of positivity never hurt anyone! Anderson's looked shattered the last game or two so a break was coming and he's an option off the bench.

I'm happy with the majority of the side, I just worry that with the sacking of Roy it's given Liverpool a boost that will just sway it their way. In all honesty - who will be more hungry for it?

Happy with Chico getting more game time, hopefully him and Berb can link up.

We also look much better with Nani in the side as he actually drives forward from the midfield.

EDIT: O'Shea is injured yup, can't remember what with. VdS has the Flu, Rooney ankle & Scholes out also.
 
Have to say, like I stated earlier, I don't worry about this match. I think everyone is expecting an upset 'FA Cup' style but I don't see it.

Berbatov and Hernandez have looked great 90% of the time they play together. I rate their partnership, genuinely, more in-tune than Berbatov's with Rooney.
