Have they got any injures?

Southampton striker Graziano Pelle could return after sitting out last weekend's win at Aston Villa.

Charlie Austin has returned to training following a hamstring injury and may be included on the bench.

"Saints have won four of the last six games and are only a couple of points behind West Ham in the race for sixth and the probable Europa League spot that will come with it."

Have a bad feeling about this game with Madrid on their minds

Terrible dilemma, ain't it.

Me too.

Not that that's unusual.

I think Pellegrini made it clear which competition the focus lies on by the team you put out in the FA Cup at Chelsea.

Also, don't you play after United meet Leicester? I think, depending on when teamsheets have to be submitted, that it could play in Pellegrini's hands.

Take Arsenal to beat Norwich on Saturday, and say United are leading late in the game with Leicester, then the pressure will be on City to pick up at least a point. However, should United be losing then perhaps Pellegrini will think United wont catch City and could afford to rest a few key players?

Have to agree our team will depend on the outcome of the rags v foxes game

Don't they announce the team an hour before kick off. Will be close.
Imagine if it's 0 - 0 with 10 minutes to play. How's he going to know which way it'll go ?

We have to gamble on champions league now and rest the majority for Sunday

Hart
Zabaleta - Demechelis - Mangala - Kolarov
Fernando - Delph
Jesus Navas - Kelechi - Sterling
Bony

Can't see him resting everyone, and we now he doesn't opt for youth/inexperience all that often, but the above would see you're entire back 4 rested, along with Yaya, Fernandinho, KDB and Aguero.
