[Olecurls99]

Full strength, every PL side is strong. Rotate against Betis, we are 4-1 up.

Agreed. Hopefully we go 2 up and can rest a load after 60 minutes. Not the United way for a long time though.

De Gea
Bissaka Varane Martinez Shaw
Antony Casemiro Sabitzer Rashford
Bruno Weghorst

 

[always_hoping]

The only time i recall Ten Hag to rotate a lot this season was against West ham recently in the FA Cup and still needed to bring on the first choice players to win that match.

 

[Garethw]

Anyone suggesting anything other than a full strength selection tomorrow is utterly bonkers!

Rest 3-4 players agains RB next Thursday.

Yeah like you can argue "who is stronger" in a few positions, but Rashford, Casemiro, Bruno, Shaw, Martinez and Varane should absolutely start if fit. Varane ok needs rotation sometimes and possibly there's a chance for 2 games off now. Right back, right wing, striker, Sabitzer or Fred, not a big difference either way.

 

[JustinC00]

I could see Varane playing in this one and rotate against Betis. After Betis we have Fulham and then there is a 12 day international break and Varane is now retired from international so he'll get some good rest.

 

[Red00012]

Think we might go

Ddg

Awb
Lindelof
Martinez
Shaw

Casemiro
Sabitzer or Fred

Antony
Sancho
Garnacho

Rashford

More chance of Gary Lineker doing MOTD tonight than seeing that 11 starting

You might well be right

Good point. Wish casemiro retired from international football too.

Same. Vs Betis away, though the tie isn't over, we can afford to rotate few players I think.

 

[LInkash]

Going to see this one. First one since a boring 0-0 with Arsenal during the van Gaal era Hopefully a bit more entertaining this time!

 

[Blood Mage]

De Gea
AWB - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Casemiro - Fred
Antony - Bruno - Rashford
Weghorst
​

One of our easiest remaining fixtures on paper but I'm weirdly nervous. Hopefully Garnacho, Pellistri and Sabitzer get some minutes in the 2nd half.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Hopefully another big win.
Need to get that goal difference into a better place it might be important

 

[Hughes35]

De Gea
AWB - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Casemiro - Fred

Weghorst

Yea, can't see it being anything other than this (50/0 between AWB and Dalot being the only one).

 

[tenpoless]

always confident at OT

 

[croadyman]

Wonder if players will wear black armbands

 

[Michael T]

Bottom of the table Southampton - I expect that 7 - 0 deficit from last week to be rectified.

Weghorst to start, even if Martial is fit; I want him to have the chance to get a couple more goals under his belt.

Strongest team available to start.

 

[lex talionis]

A strong squad is required to see off the opponent forthwith and sub en masse in the 60th minute.

This is no time for mercy. Or pussilanimity.

 

[Bondi77]

I can see him starting with a strong side because that is what Erik normally does mostly in the League games and only tinkers a little in the domestic Cup games.
Nothing wrong in that and hopefully the strong team that he picks will get the job done early and then we can sub the players early that are essential players for us.

 

[suheilsworld]

Trust DDG and let them take shots from outside - just don’t foul them for a JWP standard goal

 

[SilentWitness]

Don’t feck this up!

 

[DJ_21]

need 3 pts here. Puts us further in front of the scousers and spurs are right on our backs. Though we have 2 games in hand.

 

[DJ_21]

Trust DDG and let them take shots from outside - just don’t foul them for a JWP standard goal

If they score today then it’s most likely gonna be from a set piece and a JWP special.

 

[Telsim]

Let's see which Manchester United turns up today.

 

[edcunited1878]

This. JWP will have at least one advantageous FK where you say to yourself, "yeah, it's going in nothing you can do about it". But who cares, as long as United have more goals at full time.

Ye I can see us scoring at least 3. Don’t think Southampton will score more than 1. Our OT form is unreal. Not lost there since September so every home game we should be feeling confident.

 

[DRJosh]

Hopefully another big win.

For a top 4 scrap or unexpected title charge?

 

[McGrathsipan]

For a top 4 scrap or unexpected title charge?

Oh top 4.
Title isnt/was never on the cards

 

[Waynne]

I fecking hate Southampton. Theyre going to press the shite out of us and capitlize on our mistakes.
I don't see how we're winning this.

 

[Red00012]

Let's see which Manchester United turns up today.

The same Utd that has shown up at OT since October with 19 wins and 2 draws in 21 games?

 

[Hester_manc]

............De Gea.......

AWB..Varane.Martinez.Malacia

........Casemiro......Fred............

Antony......Bruno----------Garnacho
.................Rashford.................

I know Weghorst is starteting. But I really would wish Garnacho was starting instead.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

If they score today then it’s most likely gonna be from a set piece and a JWP special.

Sure I read somewhere if he scores from a freekick today he sets some sort of record. So you just know that is happening.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

I expect a strong side, maybe AWB & Malacia will start, but I expect Ten Hag to go with the usual attack and midfield.

DDG
AWB Varane Martinez Malacia
Casemiro Fred
Antony Bruno Rashford
Weghorst

There are only 4 points between Everton in 15th and Southampton in 20th, so I expect Southampton to play as hard as possible to get something out of the game since they have a good chance to survive, hence why I expect Ten will go with full strength

 

[Leftback99]

Sure I read somewhere if he scores from a freekick today he sets some sort of record. So you just know that is happening.

Equals Beckham's record of 18 in the PL.

 

[Buster15]

I know that Southampton are bottom of the table. But we often struggle against them. But in this case I am expecting United to win and maintain the top 4 push.

 

[DWelbz19]

I fecking hate Southampton. Theyre going to press the shite out of us and capitlize on our mistakes.
I don't see how we're winning this.

You don’t foresee any way a team who haven’t lost at home since September will beat a side who are currently 20th in the league?

 

[Shane88]

I want to send Erik 10 Hag messages on the group chat. That's the main reason we need to win today.

 

[Siorac]

First one since a boring 0-0 with Arsenal during the van Gaal era

It was so boring you forgot a couple of goals - it finished 1-1, if we're talking about the game in May 2015.

 

[jymufc20]

Taking my son to his first game today, every game I've been to we have won and scored at least 4 so make of that what you will.

 

[mitchmouse]

Our results are very good, but that's because we keep going with strong line ups. We really aren't at the squad level yet where we can make a lot of changes and guarantee beating PL opposition.

So I imagine ETH will only rotate in moderation, if at all. Personally, I'd probably switch the FB's, and then it just depends if anyone has a knock or if anyone (esp. Varane) seems to really need the rest...

De Gea

AWB
Varane
Martinez
Malacia

Casemiro
Fred

Antony
Bruno
Rashford

Weghorst

can't see ETH going into a game without Shaw, unless he has a knock

 

[Plant0x84]

This isn’t on tv in the UK is it? Fingers crossed for motd2!
Edit- oh bums
