I suspect that this will be another "don't want to lose' 0-0 ....or decided by the odd scruffy goal
 
Don't know if anyone's said it, but I can see Mourinho instructing them to lump long balls to the back post for Ibrahimovic and Fellaini and generally try to play anti-football. Corners and free-kicks, they'll just pack the box, Bailly in there too.

I think Fellaini is injured so thats one less one to worry about but they'll definitely try and use their height advantage.
 
With or without Sergio I believe we will pass them off the park and are clear favourites. Four one for City, with PEG to fall out with their team doctor, Rooney, Zlatan, 30k cockneys and sir bobby the ticket
 
We have no centre forward. Therefore, although we will play a dominant possession game, I can see them scoring at set pieces where we are weak. Kompany won't be back. If they score, Mourinho, will park the bus and play on the break. Not sure if we have the tools to open the door of the bus!
 
hate saying it but I see our first defeat! think PEG will focus on set pieces and I can see big nose up front getting a couple.

We do have a centre forward.
Kompany may be back.
If any team can open a door to a parked bus, it's us with our movement.
 
If we have a midfield of Gundogan Fernandinho and Silva I can't see anything other than a City win.... we should outplay them in midfield they won't be able to get hold of the ball.

I think we have the best locksmiths in the business
 
For me, we will create chances early on and the game will be decided on whether we take those chances. Take them and I see us running out winners comfortably. However, if we don't, the longer it goes on at 0-0, then I fear we might lose to a solitary hoof ball goal
 
People are overlooking and major issue here,
HEIGHT and our defensive frailties. We've not got enough of it unless VK or yaya comes back.

Settle for a draw on this one
 
If it was at the Etihad I'd be confident about a win. Playing away is a different ball game altogether, no matter who it is, any away game in the prem is tough. Playing united is now the equivalent of playing PSG imo. A draw would be a gpod result
 
If we are as wasteful as we were against West Ham, we might come unstuck.
If we take our chances, this could turn into another high scoring game, as Utd will open up if we score first.
