this is not gonna be easy. We will need to be at our best defending set pieces. I dont think Villa will have a go at us, they have been smashed by us many times and have had some success lately playing us tight.
No Gary Neville please, he was absolutely owned by Villa last season. VDS Brown Vidic Evans Evra Fletch Anderson Carrick Valencia Rooney Nani If Anderson isn't available Id go with Scholes or Giggs in the middle. Nani cannot be dropped at the moment. |

They'll no doubt sit back, and hoof balls up top and hope to have a bit of luck. We have a great record at Villa Park though, and we go into this game in great form. I fancy us to win.
VDS Rafael Evans Vidic Evra Carrick Fletcher Scholes Nani Rooney Park I'm going for a 3-1 win. The momentum is with us at the moment, and Villa haven't looked great in recent weeks. Granted they have a good defence, but I think we will have a lot of the ball and it'll just be a case of when and not if we score. |

They defeated us at OT, but our defense consisted of Carrick and Fletcher. I think we will defeat them by a one goal margin. It will be a tight match as Villa's defense is in extremely good form. Think we will start with a 4-4-2 as there is no other reason why we would have substituted Berbatov after 60 mins in the Pompey match.

--------------------------Van Der Saar----------------------
---Rafael---------Brown-----------Evans-------------Evra--- ------------------------Fletcher--------------------------- -----------------Scholes-----------Carrick----------------- ---Nani------------------Rooney--------------------Giggs---- Subs:Kuzczak, Vidic, DeLaet, Gibson, Park, Berbatov, Owen Shape: Keep the back 5 (only change Rafael for Neville to cope with Villa's pace on the flanks with Ashley Young and Gabby Aghlabonhor, James Milner). Midfield of 5 to fight for possession. I predict it will be a feity cup game with lots of meaty challenges and fast attacking football. Martin O Neill's teams usually set out to attack. Hopefully this will leave spaces at the back for Rooney and Nani to exploit. Prediction:0-2 away victory for us. Rooney, Scholes |

If we do go 4-3-3/4-5-1 then a front 3 of Nani - Rooney - Giggs would be my prefered trio, think Giggs is an absolute shoe in to start this one given he was rested completly yesterday. |

Villa is a long ball team, Arsenal actually try to play football. We may have to rely on Berbs to get a goal here. |

Please no Gary Nev. He doesn't have the pace to live with Villa's wingers. Agreed on the rest 4-4-2 it should be with Giggs on the left and Nani on the right instead of Valencia. |

Brown, Vidic, Evans, Evra Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs Valencia, Rooney, Nani Scholes to run the show and Fletcher to win us everything, Giggs to tear them apart through the middle and the front 3 to reap the benefits. |

------------back-four-----------
----Fletcher-----------Carrick--- -------------Scholes------------ -----Nani--------------Park------ ---------The White Pele--------- Valencia will play in the 4-4-2 formations. He is more of a 'traditional' winger. Gets crosses in, cuts in not so often. Better suited with 2 forwards if you ask me Nani is more direct, so he'd be my first choice in the 4-5-1. Gives Rooney a 'partner' sort of, in attack. Park will provide the 'legs' Don't care much, who's in the defense, as long as we have VDS in goal Carrick-Fletcher are a must Scholes- for the vision and creativity /Giggs might be an option too, though Scholesy will start IMO/ I say 3-1 United. Goals from Rooney, maybe Fletcher, Scholes from a distance... |

If Vidic was to move into the side though, I'd play Brown at right-back, but - then again -, we have Rafael, who's been in fine form in the last weeks...

Villa have a strong back line - i'd like to see us play 2 up front against them.
VDS Brown-Vidic-Evans-Evra Valencia-Scholes-Fletcher-Nani Rooney-Berbatov Stay solid at the back and we can win 1 - 0 I'd love Anderson to come on and do well. |

Scholesy will get his 100th in this game.. He always performs well at Villa Park so be sure to look for a screamer.. And yes, we need to pay back for the loss at OT(although I didn't see that game)..
Also Owen should play at least 30mins in this one. Their slow defence will not like him one bit me thinks... |

Park ................................. OwnGoal Going to be tough, but we should have no fears. We can play full strength since we don't have a game before AC Milan. Hopefully win and keep the pressure on, Chelsea have a tough game too, though. Maybe Anderson to come in, but just look at that bench

VDS Rafael Evans Vidic Evra Nani Carrick Fletcher Scholes Giggs Rooney It'll be a tough game, this, and I think the first goal is key. Villa will no doubt look to get the ball and hoof it up as they usually do when they come up against one of the big 3. We're on a good run though so I expect us to prevail, and added to that we have quite an outstanding record at Villa park. The result at OT earlier in the season was one of the more frustrating games of the season. I'm going for a 3-1 away win. Key night aswell with Everton hosting Chelsea. |
