Good line up
More or less our best possible side at the moment

Dave on the bench again
Is Henderson now officially our number 1?

Going to be a more difficult game than the table suggests as Brighton have outplayed most teams they’ve played this season when I’ve watched them but just don’t finish their chances

5-1

Don’t think this one will be easy. Brighton play some nice stuff and I never like games straight after the international break, but we SHOULD have far too much for them. Early goal would he lovely.

Odds on us winning?

Another oddity of the season - first time I’ve ever seen all top half on positive goal difference and all bottom half on negative goal difference.

Good line up, nice to see only one defensive midfielder at last.

1-0 dunk own goal

Great lineup. Obviously we are lacking a little bite without the big man up top but the attacking midfield should make up for it.

3-0 United
Rashford to score twice
Bruno the third

Tbf when pogba starts only one of The Scottish Player and Fred partners. Ever since Bruno he’s only ever gone with two defensive mids when pogba has been injured. Which tends to be 60% of most seasons.

Strongest side out tonight , start fast , don’t let Brighton settle

Usually in months gone by when other results have gone our way in this fashion and we're last up on the weekends fixtures with a home "banker" we've found ways to £#%&! it up. It would be so nice if for once we could just win it comfortably.

Ferdinand making a big deal of the goalie situation.

The hype around United.

3-0 united

"i see guardiola has rotated the squad, he's got such a wealth of players, what a great position to be in, what a genius he is blah blah blah"

"man utd have stuck with their goalkeeper, surely de gea will now want to immediately leave the club. "

Same with Donny. Real sign players and they hardly play the first season but the same happens at United and they have to leave.

Rashford and Greenwood should be well rested.

Or just win it full stop. This could be a tricky one if we make our usual start of looking like sedated sloths.

Makes you laugh doesn't it?

He went to Spain for the birth of his child recently, fair enough and had to quarantine etc. Henderson has rightly kept his spot.

It all seemed a bit strange with De Gea tbh.
