Have the feeling Mancini will air on the side of caution and play Zabeletta although I worry about him in the big games as he gets involved in stupid tackles and often give dangerous free kicks away, also you are always worried that he is going to get sent off for 2 yellows. This game just a little too soon for Kolorov.

As much as I like Zab it gotta be Kolarov he is a far better crosser of the ball and we have all seen what he is capable of with (all be it on youtube at the moment) his freekicks.
Could be Boateng with Richards at right back as said before but if not I'd start with Zabba and when he gets booked bring Kolarov on. That way Kolarov's lack of match fitness won't be an issue when United are pushing to get back in the game in the last 5 (+7) minutes, unless Zabba gets booked really early.

Agreed. What I don't understand though is why AK hasn't gotten more minutes of late. If he was only fit enough for 5 minutes on Sunday he can't be fit or settled by Wednesday. Would have loved to see him come in earlier against Lech and W. Brom.

Got to be Kolorov, much as I would love Zabba to knobble someone......

Kolarov.
Reason being his attacking ability, also free-kicks.
Zabs gives away silly free-kicks and does stupid tackles.

This. Zab was excellent at left back on sunday doesn't deserve to lose his place. Only change should be Milner/Johnson for Balotelli although personally i'd put swp in there. More pace and he always performs for us in the derbies.

SWP used to have pace, he doesn't any more, and you can't have watched the Poznan game last week if you think SWP should be starting the biggest game of the season so far.
