I'm seeing a lot of confidence on social media about this game. Which I don't really understand. Man U aren't playing particularly well and they have a lot of players missing, which may be fuelling the hopes of some of our fans, but I can't see anything other than a home win.
With a full strength defence I could maybe see us getting a result, but the Dawson/Diop combo will struggle with Fernandes playing between the lines (both are prone to jumping in and either being turned or committing a foul just outside the area), and laws of averages dictate that Ronaldo will win them a penalty this afternoon.
This looks like another Moyes getting us to sit back and soak up pressure and hope to nick something on the break again. I really dislike it as I think we can take matches to better teams and are better for trying to.

And also touch and go and whether we'll see Zouma

I think this could finish 3 or 4-1
