--------De Gea------
Jones--Evans--Smalling--Buttner Nani---Scholes---Ando---Giggs ---------Rooney---------- -------------Hernandez----- Rest Rafael, Rio, Carrick, Evra and RVP. Hopefully Evans is back, if not then bring in one of the reserves, I'd like Rafael to be rested ahead of the Spurs game. |

De Gea
Jones Smalling Evans Buttner Valencia Anderson Fletcher Nani Rooney Hernandez Should be more then enough to win comfortably, and give game time to the returnee's, maybe in time for Spurs on sunday. |

Amos
Jones Smalling Vidic Buttner Nani Anderson Scholes Giggs Hernandez Rooney A chance to give a lot of returning players a game against a relatively good side and still put out a very strong lineup that should win. |

If Evans isn't fit then Smalling and Jones CB and put Valencia in at RB. |

In a way in the Liverpool match and this one we'll have seen two halves of our first choice attacking resources. RVP, Kagawa and Young/Valencia against 'pool, and then hopefully Rooney, Nani, Anderson and possibly Hernandez against West Ham.
If all goes to plan, we'll be able to put them together to make something like this for the Spurs match: Carrick Cleverley Nani Rooney Kagawa RVP ...with Anderson as an alternative to Kagawa (to have a fairly free midfield role), Young or Valencia as options in either wide position, and Hernandez available if more firepower is needed. |

Smalling has impressed at CB and looked out of place at RB. Jones has had his best performances at RB, and hasn't had the best of times at CB as of yet. |

And you're completely ignoring his form at RB, Smalling's form at CB, and Smalling's form at RB.
Jones has potential at CB and it could prove to be his best position, but at the moment if both are on the pitch and one has to play RB and one has to play CB, we all know which way around they will be. And rightly so. |

De Gea
Jones Smalling Evans Buttner Valencia Anderson Giggs Welbeck Rooney Hernandez Nani to come on, didn't make the bench today so is probably still a bit short. I'd like to see someone else get a go in goal too but its not really worth a needless risk. Should be enough fire power there to win it for us. I'd try and give Kagawa some time too maybe put him on the left again. |

Scholesy and Giggs will be involved, as they shouldn't be away to Tottenham.
Fergie will get it right, a good lineup, but keeping key players fresh for the weekend. VP, Cleverley, Vidic, Ferdinand and Rafael probably seem most likely to be rested. |

We'll see who's fit. Evans is reported to be nicked up and now possibly Vidic. So I suppose that leaves Rio and Smalling...or maybe Jones and Smalling.
Throw the book at Big Sam and say goodbye. |

Lindegaard
Jones Smalling Evans Buttner Nani/Valencia Anderson Fletcher/Scholes Giggs Rooney/Welbeck Hernandez Depending on whether Rooney or Nani are ready to return to the team. Personally I'd play Fletcher over Scholes as I think there's more balance to that partnership with Anderson but I'd expect to see Scholes get a start. Considering the number of players from Sunday rested, shows how strong the squad is with almost all the injuries over. Good chance to get game time for those that need it and get through to the next round. |

Turns out this game isn't necessarily a headache as it provides the opportunity for some players to gain some match fitness and cause some selection headaches for Sir Alex.
Either way, the result and progress is all I'm interested in whilst certain players try to stake a claim for a return to the starting XI in the league. Everyone is pinning their hopes on Nani to save the wing play...I really hope there isn't a huge backlash. |

Amusing Rooney and Nani are back available from the start, but that Young and Vidic are out after the Liverpool game, whilst Evans won't be risked, then:
De Gea Rafael---Smalling---Jones---Buttner Valencia---Fletcher---Anderson---Nani Rooney Hernandez Bench: Lindegaard, Carrick, Evra, Scholes, Cleverley, Welbeck, RVP Avoid using Carrick, Evra and RVP if possible, but we want to progress so better safe than out. I'd like to rest Rafael as well ahead of Bale/Lennon at the weekend, but I don't think we can avoid it - if only we had two of him  Otherwise we should have enough there to beat West Ham, and give Rooney, Nani, and Anderson at least an hour, as well as reunite the Smalling-Jones partnership that did well at the U21s a couple of seasons ago. |

I like a lot of the teams being suggested, but I don't want to see a ton of changes. I want to get a 2 goal lead first, then we can bring on players needing a game.

One of Scholes or Giggs.
Both Nani and Anderson would be nice but we'll have to see. Keep De Gea in goal but change the defence: Valencia-Smalling-Jones-Evra |

I'd put in a mix of players who are out of form, with those that came back from injury to give them a chance to improve their form and get some match practice.
---------------De Gea---------------- Valencia----Smalling----Evans----Buttner -----------Jones---Anderson-------- ---------------Rooney---------------- Nani---------Hernandez------Kagawa--- This should be a good enough team to do the job while giving the likes of Carrick, Rio and Vidic a rest. |
