Can't wait for the Leeds v Man U game. Not expecting to win but it's certainly going to be a great game.... bet the police will be busy afterwards though :p
 
Should be a close game as we'll probably play our second string.

At least that will be the excuse if Leeds were to win ;)

Not sure Man U will put out a particularly weak side tbh. Fergie knows Leeds will prob set up their game for the fan as we haven't played you in years and although we are a league 1 team at the moment we would destroy most Championship teams and I doubt he would want to risk getting knocked out of the FA Cup so early on, if it was Carling cup perhaps but not in FA Cup.
 
I'd be very happy with a 2-0 loss, would be gutted to see the side get demolished, although a Prem side vs League 1 it can easily happen.

Would be nice to score too, you never know!

Leeds need to up their game defensively as we've looked awful in the last few games.
 
SAF's already said a fairly strong team will play against Leeds and then the 'kids' will be back in for City, personally I put it the other way around but hey ho....

I reckon our team will be....

GK: Foster

RB: Rafael
CB: Neville
CB: Brown
LB: Fabio

RM: Park
CM: Gibson
CM: Scholes
LM: Obertan

CF: Owen
CF: Welbeck

With the likes of Giggs, Rooney & Valencia all on the bench just in case
 
Hopefully get some of our fringe players to do the job on Sunday. Be good to beat W Ham comfortably and put us messing up that 2 goal lead in the league earlier on this season.

Agreed apart from De Laet instead of Brown (as Brown is far too valuable at the moment to risk on a cup game)

Wouldnt be surprised to see Valencia start either (but this is less likely)

I can see Leeds scoring, but it all depends on who does first as to what kind of game it is (with Scholes and Gibson not having played recently I can see Utd midfield being pretty carp at the start)
