Think we should really change it up a bit for this one. Although it's likely Barkley and Mings will come back in both Grealish and Watkins could do with a breather. I'm not really fancying our chances here to be honest. Come game time no doubt I will !

Rest Jack and Watkins?  Are you absolutely mental?!

Yeah put Mings up front....

Probably not a popular opinion but I’d rest the vast majority of the team in the FA Cup game v Liverpool definitely not against ManU. We’ve got a real chance here and I’m going for 2-0 Watkins double

Without doubt we'll make changes for Liverpool but so will they.

For the first time in about 20 years im actually looking forward to playing these fuckers.

I hate these with a passion and every ill of the premiership era can be put firmly at thier door.
There is not one of thier players i like and the coach is a piece of arrogant shit.

Thier "supporters" are the most biased, arrogant mouthy gobshites out there

They must be the only premiership team where playing in a souless, silent stadium makes no difference to a normal home game.

I hope fernandes breaks a leg, the rat faced flea hopping cheating twat and McGuire is given a torrid run around by Ollie

Just please win villa
I like the cut of your jib sir.

With our away form so far this season, anything can happen. 0-3 Watkins, AEG & Grealish.

They'll have the opener (a penalty) disallowed for encroachment and Martinez will catch the retaken kick.

I genuinely think we can win this.

If I had typed that at virtually any other time this century it would be right to have asked what I'd been drinking. 

2-0 to us with Ollie breaking his drought and getting both.

McMahon for Grealish is a reasonably like for like replacement. The more direct approach of Lochhead for Watkins may work plus he can head butt and .kick the shit out of their defenders .
Thinking about it, how about Didier Six for Traore and little Barry Bannan for McGinn ?

How we could do with a Frank Carrodus, Tony Morley or Gordon Cowans...

oh we have their 21C updates already

I accidently voted for a Manure win when I meant to go for the draw. We have to go toe to toe with them because defensively they aren't great but as an attacking force they can cause trouble for most teams. Bruno Fernandes is the main danger to us in my opinion.

Our 4-yellow contingent will do well to make it to the amnesty without reaching 5 and an enforced break. Play them, what happens happens, I'd rather we don't try second-guessing ourselves about what might or might not be.

As tough as it is on Hause, I'd put Mings back in for that bit extra we get with his distribution. Against Chelsea I thought we really missed that straight 30-40 yard ball up the line to Watkins or Grealish or the winger that he does play very well. Grealish on the left, Barkley as the '10', El Ghazi right wing, the rest picks itself.

Does a fifth booking mean missing the Fa cup game?

No, a suspension through accumulated yellow cards is competition-specific, it'll be a league game.

81 minutes 1-0 up at Old Trafford? Are you suffering from low blood pressure?

It would be more like 95 minutes if we’re winning
