Will depend on which Chelsea turns up. Seems like a bit of an anti-climax after the Barca game. I'm not that confident I'm afraid. Liverpool winning yesterday means we need all 3 points. Whether we get them is anyones guess. Let's hope we put up a fight like against Barca. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Think the lads will be up for it especially as its against the not so special one

We have what it takes to beat united and do the double over them

I am sure they will use the pace they have up top to go at us. I would hope cahill doesn't play in this one. 

I think cahill has had his time its time for him to make way, think we need to get kaubouli in summer to strengthen back line up, and hazard will destroy utd if given free role in behind morata

Gotta make top four first mate. We can only target the top tier players if we have CL football.

That is true mate, but what ever happens weather we finish 4th or 5th my view is we have to stick with conte and give him more control, thats my view

I think we can predict utd's line up

De gea

Valencia

Bailly

Smalling

Young

Mctominay

Matic

Pogba

Martial

Lukaku

Sanchez

 

Thats too attacking for Jose . I see them in a 532

 

                    De Gea

Valencia  Lindeloff  Smalling  Bailey   Young

          Mctominay  Matic  Pogba

             Lukaku    Sanchez  

i know jose gets criticised for defensive football, but he also knows when to play more offensive. i don't think he'll play conservative today. utd will want to win.

He knows they have to go for a win, as do we given Liverpools result yesterday and an expected 3 points for the Spuds today also.  It's going to probably end in stalemate but one flash of brilliance or stupid error just might win it.  We need at least a point from this game, we put the pressure on ourselves with sloppy performances against Watford and Bournemouth.

Absolutely. But don't discard those CP cnuts. They tend to show up at home for the big occasions !

We haven't beaten United at old Trafford since Carlo won the league. Mostly draws since then. We are due a win, at what has been a good ground for us in the premier league years in general. 

It's hard to think of a mourinho team vs a conte team, not ending in a draw, as both managers are conservative in their approach. 

I don't think United need the 3 points as much as ourselves, a draw would be okay for them, especially with our run of fixtures coming up. 

Hopefully we turn up today, and pick up a massive 3 points. 

A win today would be a great result for us. Am also hoping Spurs don't get the 3 points.

Crossing my fingers.

After watching Chelsea perform like they did against Barcelona, I don't think it's in Manchester United's best interest to go toe to toe with Chelsea. Jose is going for the classic 1-0 win. Chelsea will dominate possession, but need to turn it into to chances created. I can there been a lot of annoyed United fans today. Give it 'em, Chelsea. 

United with a 433 apparently.  Showing some intent there maybe?

Fabregas and Pedro out, Drinkwater and Morata In.

No False 9?
An actual striker starting?
Fabregas not in a 2 man midfield?
343?

Edited February 25, 20188 yr by TomCFC85

i was fairly close with my prediction haha

Morata starts so does Drinkwater. Looks like a decent lineup but Morata will have to play out of his skin or be replaced with Giroud.

Same line up as I called

We did win in 2012/13 with rafa as our manager. Mata 1-0

Hazard must be licking his lips after looking at United's back 4.

Pogba in a midfield 3. Im scared

Morata better come good. We need him now more than ever in this battle for 4th place with spurs

would of preferred giroud
