Going to be a hard game against United on Sunday, not that im being a pessimistic regarding the whole situation as i think we can come out of it with a result and go 5 points clear.
My team prediction:
--------------Hart--------------
Richards--Kompany--Lescott--Clichy
-------------De Jong------------
-------Yaya----------Milner-----
-------Silva----------Balotelli----
-------------Aguero-------------
De Jong is a natural protector of the back 4 so he should be holding leaving Yaya to go and explore and play playmaker in the CM role, same goes for Milner. Both Yaya and Milner are quick players and can track back and defend well when needed. I would definately play 3 in CM rather than the 2 holding midfielders for this game as i think this is the way we can have one over on them...
Balotelli is a great player in that left wing/attacking role because for me some of his best shots have come from that angle this season, he can always cut in to the middle when the time is right. De Gea seems to have a weakness from long range shots by the looks of it and if anyone will get a screamer on Sunday its gonna be Balotelli.
Silva to go floating around Aguero and feed him crucial balls like he usually does although if anyone from our team is going to hounded on Sunday its him..gonna be man marked all over!!
Our super subs of the day should be anyone out of: Dzeko, Nasri, Johnson and Barry.
As for United, for me if you control their wing players, you can stop them.. Nani had a field day against us in the Charity Shield. Our midfield will hopefully be stronger compared to theirs so i hope that is where we can win the game. Their defense has been well open as well this season, wether they sort it out for us i don't know but i think the game will hold goals for both teams...
We did not have Aguero, Nasri and Tevez if you like in the CS, so this game should be great..
Would love to have another 1989 moment but i can only dream!!
