Certainly will not be happy with a draw , our players will be running their hearts out and Pep will not settle for anything less , even if we go a goal down we wont change our game plan , we continue passing and playing total football , i have no doubt the scum will try rough house tactics PEG did the same when at Real when playing Pep's Barca. The Rags first of all have to catch us to kick us ,and to get their set pieces they have to get the ball of us , we are light years away from this Rag team i am only wary of the referee and keeping eleven on the pitch.

Why would you not be happy with a draw as a matter of interest? We are 8 points clear and keeping them at that is only a good thing for me
 
Draw or win - not really bothered - would obviously prefer the win but keep them 8 points behind at least and lets kick on.
 
This game is getting built up similar to last years trip to united, they’re were to bully us off the ball and score from every set piece. I’ve seen the exact same over the past couple of games. Hopefully we play them off the park again.

Never happy with a draw against this lot , we have a duty to put them in their place at every opportunity , your assumption that 8 points would be good is commendable but eleven points clear on Sunday evening and the fact they have to come to our place means their title race is run , and its not even xmas.
 
A draw would be better for us that for them. I know the Rag's have played a couple of difficult away matches which we haven't against Liverpool and Arsenal, but even if we will loose both of those, a draw on Sunday will still keeps us in front. So IMO the situation is that the Rags really need to win, where we "just" need not to loose. This is probably irrelevant anyway, as I expect Pep to set the team up to attempt to win the game.

A couple of wishes from me:

1. Avoid red cards. I expect the Rags to field Rashford and perhaps Martial. Both a very quick, so it is almost inevitable that they will get counter attacks going. When they do we should avoid a red card at all costs. I'd rather take a goal against. The ref is going to send one of our boys off if he possibly can, so no tactical free kicks from whoever is our last man.

2. Do not go behind. If the Rags score first it will be get really difficult for us. They will dig trenches in front of their goal and defend it with their lives.

3. Take our chances. I try avoiding it, but every time I have seen the Rags play this season, I have seen them allow chances. They always are so damned lucky that their opponents do not score though. So I think we will get chances on Sunday, even if they play defensively. We just need to take them.
