Man Utd v West Ham

Barclays Premier League
Venue: Old Trafford Date: Tuesday, 23 February 2010 Kick-off: 2000 GMT

Team News: Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is available for Tuesday's rearranged league game against West Ham after completing a four-match ban.

Central defensive partner Nemanja Vidic is fit after a nerve problem, so the pair could start together for the first time since October.

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has said he might make some changes to his side, despite back-to-back wins.

Benni McCarthy remains a doubt with the knee injury he suffered on his debut.

Hoping to see:

---

Van Der Sar
-Rafael-Vidic-Ferdinand-Evra
Valencia-Fletcher-Anderson-Park

---

Rooney-Berbatov

Will probably line up nothing like that at all, its just what i would like to see

SlickRic

this should be an entertaining and brutal backlash onto West Ham.

DazMarz

Would love to see a nice result here, obv. But to be brutally honest, United should win her nice and handy. 2-0 or 3-0 at a canter.

Gillington

Do ya's reckon Rooney might be rested tonight?

Nalz

1-0 Michael Owen or Diouf

I wouldnt think so - he didnt have the best game against Everton + Fergie will want him to get back to his top form again.

keane2097

If Rooney is played on the left wing I'll have a sh*t attack.

Might rest Berbatov, he looked awfully tired. Walked around the pitch alot and looked down and not interested at times

Quandary

If the game is going well id like to see obi wan get a half hour or so. It would be great to see Vida & Rio get a game together too....

And your point is He is so laid back I'm surprised he doesn't bring a sleeping bag on the pitch with him. Having said that he'll probably run his socks off tonight and score a hat-trick (unlikely, but stranger things have happened. He scored 4 in the same game against Reading playing for Spurs in December 2007)!

Ha ha, I always expect to see him stamping out a cigarette when the ball comes to him, he looks like he's on his tea break most of the time, either that or he's a recovering narcoleptic.

i don't think you can say Ando is sure to do anything these days, to be honest.

sprinkles

I'd like to see Rooney rested and Obertan get a start. Not sure if Ando will figure from the start but I think if Fergie has any plans to keep him he's got to give him some game time soon.

True but what can you do with our midfield these days

fergie will play 4-5-1 against Milan so who's going to be the 3rd man in CM if carrick is gone?

Could end up being Gibson in fairness (though i would pick Ando ahead of him every time) You never know what Fergie is going to do, or how far an apparent punishment will go.

Liam O

what time will the squads be announced? Have a tenner in my PP account to play around with...

i know, but Fergie seems to rate him.

As for team announcements, usually hear about an hour to 45mins before kick-off, so I'd reckon within the next 25minutes.

Holy crap balls.

i'm gonna hold off on going balistic cause i tend to be proven wrong but dear lord I am not happy with that team AT ALL.

I can't even begin to... i just don't.... i mean....

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

Foster in goals? Why, why the hell play foster? Is VDS too tired? Nev at RB...no, just freaking no. Gibson in midfield? What THE HELL is that? Anderson seemingly on the left? Are you just ripping the piss Fergie? "Ere, Ando, you're getting one more chance to prove youself tonight, don't let me down or your United career is finished.... BTW, you're playing left wing with Gibson in the centre."

Holy CRAP BALLS.

Ando's first game back and he's being ****ed back out on the left. Strange. Unless we go 4-5-1 and Rooney starts on the left and a certain poster ****s himself....

Liam O

knee jerk much lads? 3-0 United.
