It'll be easier than against Everton judging by our results there. Always tight scores with them.

hope a win could preasure chelsea that r playing later.............
hope not to see another slow pace playing after huge margin.......must score lots of goals......the top three goals are likely to be equal.......maybe the title will be based on that......

Dayyum..its an early kickoff. I'll miss the match but heck,

Lineup Prediction

VDS
Rafael Vidic Evans Evra
Valencia Carrick Fletcher Anderson Park
Rooney

I won't go for a 4-4-2 away to Goodison, we need solid midfield to content Everton midfield.

I have 100% confidence in Rafael, he proved his quality and this is the type of game where he show people that he can play hard and contribute to the team. Instead, I have more concern if Brown played at right back due to the pacey Everton wingers. This is the period of time where you miss JonnyBoy Oshea. When he played at right back, no concern about defending anyone, he can do it.

Rooney as lone striker, if he keep up to score when playing alone up front, Defeo, Bent, Heskey can help to warm up the England bench during World Cup. But if SAF wanted to reduce Rooney workload for coming match, Berbatov could feature but maybe as sub.

yeah...
tonite game is a crucial game for us...
everton confident must be high as sky since they beat chelsea.. btw with many important players injured for everton team, i reckon we can get something tonight.. but upset always happen isn't it?

everton pitch is among the widest in england, i believe 442 is the suitable tactic tonight..
maybe it will look like this

VDS
brown vidic evans evra
valencia fletcher ando(carrick) park
berba
rooney

but since SAF new favorite tactic is 451, so might be he will also use that...he know better than us..

His favourite tactics is the one that win him games. 451/433 for the big games, 442 for the others.. and last game against Milan it was actually kinda a mix of both. 2 CMs, Park in the centre ahead of the 2 CMs when defending, and go everywhere when we have the ball, Fletcher down the left, and Nani/Valencia wide right with Rooney up top.

Hoping to see Berba for this one. He need to sharpen his match fitness and continue his 'productive form' in his last 10 appearances or so even though his performance ain't so good it has to be said due to injuries and whatnot. It's a long season ahead and we can't rely just on Rooney alone upfront throughout the coming months.

guys, tonight's match, ESPN HD showing it or not?

Berba needs to start man! I wanna see Berba and Rooney up front. With Rooney on fire,a 2 strikers will definitely be more effective

No vidic?is he on the bench?

Yeah, he on the bench today.

Confirmed:

Everton vs Man Utd

Everton: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Donovan, Osman, Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, Pienaar, Saha

Subs: Nash, Yobo, Vaughan, Gosling, Yakubu, Rodwell, Coleman

so its 442 eh.. i want 3 point from this game, plzz no margin for error..

No Ando? hmm, we need him to be match fit for the Milan game

the match is 3 weeks away right? should have an ample time for ando to be match fit.

He might feature on the bench next game against West Ham since it's 3 days away and Fletcher/Carrick/both might get rested for that one.
