United away - pre-match thread

[FFPbegone]

Could we see the debut of sane or is he not 100%?

Appointing Clattenburg really means Rooney will be reffing this game. He'll follow him everywhere chirping in his ear all match long.

Always worth a watch

I don't expect to get much from this ref, for us to stand any chance of winning we will have to score at least 3 goals. I am expecting him to give the rags a dubious penalty should they need 1 to either win or get a draw. When is the last time this ref really did anything for us.

I wouldn't say excited as it's my least favourite game of the season but i agree the week is going very slowly,i dipped into the media but it's all up maureens arse,it's clear who they are backing

Nope, definitely excitement for me! Pop to the barbers Saturday at 10, then the lads are coming round mine for 11:30. Beers will be in the fridge from Friday evening. Cannot wait to hear the sound of those first cans cracking open. Breakfast beer? Yes please.

Ilkay Gündogan is fit for selection in the Manchester derby. [Guardian]
Otamendi is not expected back from international duty until late Thursday, so Kolarov could start against United - or Kompany. [Guardian]

Silva on the derby: "We will go out to win the match. We know they are a very difficult rival, but we won't settle for a draw."

Bravo
Zabaleta Stones Kolarov Clichy
Fernandinho
Sterling De Bruyne Silva Sane
Nolito

8-0 to City, big nose to get bossed by the Stones Kolarov axis, Bravo to save 4 penalties and Clattenburg to burst in to tears as Rooney fails to convert them.

Sorry mate and hate to say it but I feel Shaw will simply fly past Zab.

Excitement for me too. I know it will be a daunting task, but based on what both clubs have shown so far this season, we should not really be worried about them.
