Manchester United vs Chelsea (Reserves)
Strong Reserves side faces Blues

A strong United Reserves side has been named to face Chelsea in the first part of a pre-season double header on Monday evening.

Club captain Gary Neville and Ben Foster are the most experienced inclusions, while Darron Gibson and the da Silva twins also feature after their recent first team outings.

With Neville and David Gray likely to occupy the full-back berths, Reserves manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may deploy the Brazilians as wingers.

Richard Eckersley and James Chester reprise their central defensive partnership of last season, while Gibson and Danny Drinkwater will team up in the midfield engine room. Kiko Macheda leads the line upfront, with Sam Hewson in support.

Jimmy Derbyshire, Ron-Robert Zieler, Magnus Eikrem, Evandro Brandao, Cameron Stewart and Matt James have all been named on a six-man substitutes' bench.

Monday's game, which kicks off at 7pm and will be shown live on MUTV, is part of a double-header against the Blues, since both sides were originally scheduled to take part in the cancelled Champions Youth Cup in Malaysia.

United: Foster; Neville, Eckersley, Chester, Gray; Rafael, Gibson, Drinkwater, Fabio; Hewson, Macheda.
Substitutes: Derbyshire, Zieler, Eikrem, Brandao, Stewart, James.

Oh how I'd love to be watching this match, but there's never any streams for these reserves matches, though I'll no doubt be searching every streaming site anyway.

Pogue, Virtuso, Mujac etc. would be great if you guys could write a summary like you often do after these games, will be interesting to hear how the twins fares as well as Macheda.

Would have been a great way to get the mind away from yesterday's match.

Will do my best, Top.

Although the wife may resent me monopolising the telly and the PC simultaneously, having spent the previous evening in a Stella-fuelled strop, whinging about "fucking Mike Riley and fucking ball to hand"

Hopefully nothing some filling station flowers won't be able to sort out. Fingers crossed, eh?

Haha - A brief summary after the game with focus on the twins, Macheda or who else might be shining tonight would be more than sufficient, Pogue - then your wife can have the computer while you enjoy the match.

Hmm, you might be right, all I remember is that it's been practically impossible to find any streams for the reserves' matches for a long time.

I'll do a write up mate, may be a little late but hopefully there will be a lot (of good stuff hopefully) to write about. Will be exciting to see how Rafael and Fabio do as wingers, we've seen how both play without fear or restrictions as full backs - but playing in an attacking role from the start is a whole different kettle of fish. I do think that they'll do well though. Also, hoping for a big performance from Macheda tonight, wishful thinking from me that Sir Alex may have given him a place on the bench incase drastic action had to be taken yesterday as I guess he's the next available striking option we have currently.

I was checking just now, couldn't find any streams of the match tonight for you mate. Hopefully you get a hold of one.

Myp2p's got a stream up now, google the site if you don't know it already.
Hopefully that's not against the rules.

It was brilliant, you should read the thread where we first heard about the goal by Mr. MUJAC and then waited hours for the goal to be uploaded.

The stream is al right, first half has been a bit unorganised in my opinion - Eckersley been great, Rafael still looks impressive, Fabio hasn't really had that final luck to make things happen for him, haven't seen much of Macheda, though that could be because of the small stream.

Rafael off at half time.

0-0 at half time , some really good play in middle of pitch in a frantic game, both defences look strong but final ball from both sides is lacking accuracy

Do you reckon Rafael coming off could have anything to do with the fact he might be starting next weekend?

Probably more to do with him having played yesterday, and he got a bit of a hit in the face at the end of the first half.
Don't know if today has convinced Fergie that Rafael should start on the right wing on Monday, he didn't really play much as a winger, he drifted around a lot, though still very impressive whenever he was in action.

Fabio off, not a great match by him today imo.
