Everton currently winning 2-0 vs West Brom.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all in action today at 3pm.

Carling Cup final is tomorrow, kicking off at 3pm. Expecting a United lineup something like the following:

Foster
Neville - Evans - Vidic - Fabio
Wellbeck - Anderson - Gibson - Nani
Tevez - Rooney

Should be good :)
 
Everton 2-0 WBA FT

Liverpool 11:
-----------Reina
Carra--Hyypia-Skrtel--Aurelio
El Zhar-Masch-Alonso-Babel
----------Gerrard
-----------Kuyt

With Arbeloa and Agger injured the back 4 picks itself. Only real suprise is Benayoun not starting.
 
Never like seeing Kuyt up top on his own. He never gets in to the box and normally ruins Gerrard's game by dropping deep and occupying the same space.

Think it'll be the another poor performance after a European game and probably a draw.
 
Really hoping the MU lineup is:

Foster
Neville - Vidic - Evans - Fabio
Welbeck - Fletcher - Anderson - Tosic
Tevez - Rooney

I think thats the first time ive ever said I'd like Fletcher to be in the side.
 
Not sure Tosic will play or even be involved. Seemed to get his debut and then disappear. I assume he's one for next season.

As for Fletcher he could play, but if Andersons fit again you'd expect him to get a start, and Gibson has already been promised a start. Rooney is going to play and i'd assume Tevez will too so it should be 4-4-2. Added to that Scholes not playing midweeki'd guess Fletcher and Carrick would be down the pecking order for tomorrows game.
 
well the supposedly magnificent Diaby hasn't got a pass right yet unless its backwards. he does what he does well, turns out of trouble, but he always keeps it to long or passes it badly. ALso with a midfield thats fit, ready to fight and ready to run they are making a joke of our midfield "defensive" pair, Fulham could easily be 2 or 3 up by now, absolutely no tracking back, making midfield running or being in the right place by Denilson/Diaby.

Arshavin looks bright, but just doesn't look a winger, why Nasri a natural winger with a bit of pace is in the middle when Arshavin, not a natural winger with no pace is on the wing I will never be able to explain.

Except Wengers bizarre 4-2-3-1 formation worked against a utter crap Roma side, so surely it will work against a real team......... no.
 
I'd really like to see Welbeck on the wing, I think he's been a bit of a revelation there the last few times he's played, dare I mention Ole?
 
Cracking start to the Arsenal game where it could quite easily have been 4-2 to us. But no goals, and now the game's become tepid...

Diaby just gets worse and worse the more he plays!
 
1528: Shortly after Chris Kirkland saves at the feet of Chelsea defender Alex, Wigan midfielder Lee Cattermole goes into the book for a very late challenge on Jon Mikel Obi.

That's totally out of character.

:rolleyes:
 
We're missing an unbelievable amount of chances, I spy another draw...

Nasri, then Vela really should have shot earlier, but when RvP does it goes straight at the keeper! Come on!

Cahill should be in the running for player of the year. No complaints about playing out of position, just getting on with the job.
