Injury permitting, I suspect that's what it'll be. Who do you think would deputise at RB if Wes doesn't make it? Would he have the confidence in Simpson? Or revert back to the 'experience' of O'Shea.

Saha looked lively on Wed but if he didn't start then then I see no reason why he would start on Sunday.

The only other slight point of contention is who he'll go with in central midfield (what with so many options and all) but I'm with you and I think it'll be that side.

I'm sure it promises to be a challenge, but I think they're aware of that. They've had a good week and if we perform to our level then not even a hugely confident Blackburn will stop us.

2-1 for me.

VDS

Simmo--- Rio--- Vidic--- Evra

Giggs--- Hargo--- Anderson--- Ronnie

Tevez---- Saha

I would prefer Nani to giggs but Alex dont.

Also Simpson deserves a Prem start....

If Wes doesn't make it it should definitely be Simmo, won't be though. Wes will play anyway as he was ill rather than injured.

vds
wes
rio
vidic
evra
carrick
anderson
nani
ronnie
tevez
rooney

i think he'll give carrick a game but i don't know if it will be anderson or hargreaves alongside. i'd guess anderson, since he was rested in the week. nani is due a start and his pace will be effective against blackburn. giggs back for sporting.

We will draw.

Both Anderson and Hargreaves were rested in the week.

yeah, but i think a rest for anderson is a genuine rest; a rest for hargreaves is a euphemism for looking after his crocked knee

tbph it's more wishful thinking on my part. i just want to see carrick and anderson start

I'm not sure if Anderson is ready for the hussle and bussle of the blackburn midfield.
Fletcher to start along side O'Shea in CM.

They have "been there done that" after all.

I have a bad feeling......Blackburn are Rested, Strong and love playing United.

It will be hard.

Do we know if VDS is defo fit?

Wes Brown isnt Louis Saha so he'll be playing. Therefore I'll go with the same line up as Anth...barring Edwina not being fit.


Bunks...why wouldnt Rooney play please you nutter?

I think Fergie will rest rooney and give Saha a start.

We didnt need to play Rooney on wednesday.

I think there is zero chance of that happening.

Oh I'm going to, I'll wait, then see Rooney in the starting lineup and Saha on the bench.

Same as Bedders'.
