Assuming Evans went off injured (and maybe Nani also?), added to Fletcher and Scholes missing tonight, then:
De Gea Rafael---Smalling---Ferdinand---Evra Valencia---Carrick---Cleverley---Young Rooney RVP Bench: Lindegaard, Wootton, Buttner, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Welbeck I expect Young will get hell for the penalty against them at home last season, so a test of character there. I haven't seen much of Villa this season, but seem to be doing terribly so may as well attack with wingers. Hate playing against Agbonlahor - he annoys me the way he throws himself into our defenders (certainly Vidic in the past) and he's scored against us before. |

-----------De Gea-----------
Rafael--Rio--Smalling--Evra ------Carrick--Cleverley---- Valencia---Rooney---Young -------------RvP------------- Subs: Lindegaard, Buttner, Anderson, Powell, Giggs, Welbeck, Hernandez. And if Evans is fit than he'll probably start, Smalling will go on the bench and Buttner will be left out. |

de Gea
Rafael Ferdinand Evans Evra Carrick Cleverley Scholes Valencia van Persie Rooney SUBS: Lindegaard, Smalling, Anderson, Fletcher, Nani, Welbeck, Hernandez. Is what I'd like to see, assuming Evans is fit of course. Think Fergie will probably play Young though as the guys above have alluded to. |

Villa will most likely field a side something like this:
Guzan - Stevens, Vlaar, Clark, Lowton - Bannan, Ireland, Westwood, Weimann - Benteke and Agbonlahor I can honestly say - I don't think there have been many sides (if we exclude newly promoted sides) in the P.L where I know so little about the line-up as I do about this Villa-side. Lot of players I have only seen a few times |

We are in a great run of form (result wise) and we've now entered an "easy patch", we've beaten teams way stronger than Villa and the like we've got coming up, and I fully expect us to keep on winning now.
Not saying I'm overly confident as no game is an automatic 3 points, but anything less out of the next few games is a dissapointment in all honesty, we have more than enough of a difference of quality stacked in our favour to warrant the wins. |

De Gea Rafael Rio Evans Evra Anderson Carrick Cleverley -------Rooney Valencia--RVP------------ Yes it looks lopsided, but formations rarely end up being as symmetrical on the pitch as they are on paper. We usually mostly attack down one wing, and Young is hardly going to provide that wing, so just leave him out. Evra, Cleverley and occasionally Rooney will provide more than enough width against Villa. The combination of Carrick's composure, Cleverley's tempo and guile and Anderson's drive and creativity will be worth it. Cleverley-Carrick vs Arsenal was good, but it was crying out for a bit of Anderson spark. And Anderson vs Braga never really had a chance to play well, starting alongside Giggs and Rooney in midfield. |

I would love to see Carrick, Cleverley and Anderson in midfield together but I do think after missing a few games that Scholes is pretty much nailed on to start this one.

Classic let down game after a run of tough fixtures and European football. I hope utilize the squad a little and change it up with players looking to impress. Welbeck, Buttman,Young, Clev should all start. Powell to come in for Scholes in the 60 minute, if we are ahead.
Lindegaard Rafael Smalling Ferdinand Buttman Carrick Scholes Cleverley Young RVP Welbeck Subs: DeGea, Wootton, Evra, Anderson, Rooney, Hernandez, Powell |

My preferred line up for the game
De Gea Rafael, Rio, Evans, Evra Cleverley, Carrick, Anderson Valencia, RVP, Rooney Smalling instead of Evans if Evans is indeed hurt. If we control the CM, with Rooney, RVP movement plus the ability of both Cleverley and Ando to get forward - we should be able to tear Villa a new one. |
