Will be an interesting game this evening, Fulham are a completely different outfit at home so a tough game is in store. I feel Nani will play a huge role in today's game. United 3-1, RVP x2 and Nani with Hangelaand scoring for Fulham.

Blatter

De Gea, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Rafael, Giggs, Carrick, Cleverley, Nani, Rooney, RvP is what I predict.

Very happy with that side. Valencia has been out of the frame for a good few games now, hopefully he'll get himself back into form from now on in.

yeah i think apart from jones its first choice X1 (when val isnt playing like ****)

MANUTD99

With a bit of luck Valencia to re discover form and get an assist and Nani to score. Big chance for both today

Blatter

Hopefully Vidic is just being rested and has not picked up another injury, not even on the bench.

Copper_pipe

Apparently there is a late change Evans on for Jones

MANUTD99

Evans in playing rather than Jones. Tweeted by Howard Nurse

I don't think it was a late change, it was just a mistake from ESPN I think.

Israel_Dagg

Evans and Ferdinand could mean some aerial success for Fulham.

If Valencia is very bad again today questions will have to be asked.

Liam O

Really like the look of that team. Maybe Kagawa in for Valencia would be my preference but I do like seeing Nani and Valo on the same pitch.

MANUTD99

Only 1 goal from our wingers this season. Big chance for Valencia and Nani to get going.

Looks like he has a bad dose on him. Somebody get him a Wenger jacket.

Kerrydude1981

Thank christ Maradona Burley is in the studio this week,he was a right pain in the hole last week doing commentary on the cup game

Paul Tergat

In David we trust - love that flag

More over the top criticism of De Gea there in the studio. Bugs the hell out of me. He's only 21, where the hell was Hart or Begovic at 21? They've made mistakes too, especially Hart.

sofireland

Keegan and barnes washed up managers saying de gea will be sold madness. Anyway come on united

Lovely Bloke

People complaining about punditry.

So what? Stop listening, ignore it, they are wrong.

Paul Tergat

wrong thread griefer!!

kmart6

Had to laugh at the commentator pointing out how RVP didn't score mid-week with almost shock in his voice!

Liam O

Rafael really needs to work on his composure. He gives away possession far too much

Professional Griefer

Aww come on!

Paul Tergat

HOW???????

kmart6

How did it not go in there?!

Nice ball from Cleverley to Nani there.

RikkFlair

Jaysus stick it away

Hank Scorpio

Jaysus!

Paul Tergat

evans has played 2 really sloppy passes

kmart6

Great strike, great save!

Israel_Dagg

Incredible passing there.

KingdomYid

what is that chant United fans are singing?

Rayne Wooney

That was close, Fulham could really punish us on the counter

Paul Tergat

woodwork hit 3 times already

Liam O

Hangeland is determined to score an og here.

yermandan

2 top saves from DDG

kmart6

Super save from De Gea on that Ruiz shot!

Hank Scorpio

Amazing save by De Gea there, got a touch onto the post. Cracking game so far

Hidalgo

Great effort by Ruiz and super agility by de Gea.
Good open game

Israel_Dagg

We're so bad at the back.

Rayne Wooney

Some of our defenders need to start throwing themselves in front of these shots, target practice for Fulham

WIZE

can someone pm me a stream to the game please

gebbel

Loving this game!

Mr.Crinklewood

Neither team seem to want to tackle.

Off topic, but Pringles should come with a spring loaded base to make it easier to get to the ones at the bottom.

Kerrydude1981

A chance with nearly every attack,defenders have taken the day off
