Not sure why but I thought the league had agreed that clubs playing in europe on Wednesday wouldn't be put in the 12.30 TV slot anymore? This is two weeks in a row we've had the early saturday kick off having played the Wednesday night game. Oh well not much we can do about that now and I'm sure that one is already pre loaded in the Ole post game interview if things go pear shaped on Saturday.
Team news obviously no Rashford and no Maguire haven't seen an update on Shaw yet probably find out more on Friday's press conference.
Telles seems to be struggling to get through the 90 minutes which isn't good so wonder if we might see Dalot move over to the left side I think I'd rather start with Telles and have to make the change later in the game if we need to.
For them Coleman, Andre Gomes, Richarlison and Calvert Lewin are all out so they're not at full strength missing key forwards we know a Rafa side will be well organised look to stay compact and spring counter attacks through the likes of Gray and Townsend and in Rondon they've got the sort of striker that Lindelof does not like playing against.
DDG
AWB Lindelof Varane Telles
Fred McTominay
Sancho Bruno Pogba
Ronaldo
I think Greenwood needs to sit one out and be the impact player off the bench I thought Sancho did well last night so I'd send him out again. In midfield I don't think the McTominay/Pogba partnership worked I think we need a bit better shape in there to stop the runs of Doucoure and stop Allan from dictating the game.
Might be a game where the subs can come on to win it having Cavani, Greenwood, Lingard off the bench against a tired defence could be what clinches it for us.
Needs a win to keep the pace with the leaders I feel we slipped up last weekend can't happen again.
