3 points or we're in trouble with top 4

I would also play Martinez in midfield (cheers!). AWB instead of Dalot if he is better.

Well both seemed to cope when we gave Leeds a good drubbing more than once.

And if anything under Bielsa they were more of a pressing team than they are now.

No point having a squad if you don't use it.

This Leeds team is not the same as Bielsa. They won at Anfield, should have won yesterday and are the only team I’ve seen batter Arsenal. They seem to raise it for the big games!

I thought it showed how paper thin our squad is due to injuries and suspension. Weghorst - love the guy a real 100% player. But not the required standard and from that performance I dont think Sabitzer is going to be long term either. When you're bringing Lindelof on as DM you know its bare bones time. Still gutsy disply to come back from 2-0 down. Old Trafford was rocking, Leeds fans did their bit tbf. Next season with more re-inforcements - I think its a title challenge. This year we are 2-3 players away (Striker, Mid, Defender).

How about judge Sabitzer when he has played alongside Casa not DM clown like Fred,might be worth remembering it took Casa a while to get up to speed with this league.

Knowing our luck Leeds will appoint a new permanent manager before Sunday and will have to face them with a another new manager bounce

Still a real possibility if it gathers pace tomorrow

They're a point above relegation.

They finisned 9th the season we beat them 6-2 with Maguire and Lindelof at the back.

And were generally regarded as the hardest running team in the Prem.

Maguire and Lindelof can handle them.

Leftback99 · Feb 9, 2023

Can only see a loss in this one. They'll be well up for it with the home crowd behind them.

So needed Sabitzer & Casa for this,unfortunately he tried to defend his Brazilian brethren from Palace shithousery but went too far

Nicoseth · Feb 9, 2023

We were caught cold by a resurgent Leeds last night. We won't make the same mistake twice. 2-0 United.

M Bison · Feb 9, 2023

A hell of a lot less confident after last nights performance.

Biggest issue is midfield, I’d be tempted to put Bruno wide and play a 3rd midfielder, Fred, Sabitzer and Lindelof.

Play Rashford through the middle, Sancho and Bruno either side.

Need a win, is it 1 win in last 4? Not great.

M Bison · Feb 9, 2023

Do we know injury status of Antony and AWB?

AWB was illness I think

avgp_1 · Feb 9, 2023

We need some press resistant players against them. Bruno, Varane and Fred were a trigger for their press but the former two are way too useful and we have to play Fred I suppose. Hope Antony can be back

DJ_21 · Feb 9, 2023

Is Antony available for this? If so I’d like to see a sancho, rashford, Antony front 3. Think that gives us the most balance… I think it will work really well

Lyng · Feb 9, 2023

De Gea
AwB (If he is ready) - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Lindelöf - Sabitzer
Bruno
Antony - Rashford - Sancho

1 win in last 4 league games, yeah.
3 wins in last 4 games if you count cup matches like the FA Cup and League Cup semi-finals - which I do, but many seem to ignore nowadays for some reason.

Bertie Wooster · Feb 10, 2023

Attacking predictions depend on fitness of Antony and Martial of course. Presuming all missing players are still out, then I'd probably go with...

De Gea

Dalot*
Varane
Martinez
Shaw

Fred
Sabitzer
Fernandes

Sancho
Rashford
Garnacho*

*AWB starting RB if available.
*Garnacho on bench - Antony right, Sancho left - if Antony is available.

They won at Anfield

They were dominated in that one and smash and grabbed it in the 90th minute. Meanwhile they let a 2 goal lead slip to us.

should have won yesterday

Not sure where you get this from, we thoroughly outplayed them, 31% more possesion, 24 shots to 8 shots, 7 shots on targets to 2. Their GK needed to make a handful of great saves. While they barely had a sniff of our goal, their 2nd goal shouldn't have even been a goal, it could has easily been ruled off for handball in the build up and even if there was none DDG gets to it if Varane lets it go.

and are the only team I’ve seen batter Arsenal.

"batter Arsenal"

Arsenal had 53% possesion
Shots on target were 4 to 4
If you think that was them battering them would like to hear your thoughts on us beating Arsenal 3-1

Some people always look at the bright side.

mitchmouse · Feb 10, 2023

Nowhere near as confident as I was this time last week. Need to seriously up our game rom Wednesday night. Play properly and we'll win but a couple of times recently we've looked like rabbits in the headlights early on in games. Need to start fast, which to me means starting Garnacho. Maybe, and I'm not usually a fan of this, play Rashford through the middle and have two wide men. Garnacho and Sancho? Garnacho and Pellestri?

fergiewherearethou · Feb 10, 2023

Maybe it's time for Martinez to start at CDM alongside Sabitzer after the Fred fiasco in the last game.
They will surely press us again to disrupt our build up and with Fred there I see us giving a lot of balls away so conceding first must be avoided at all costs.

Mr Smith · Feb 10, 2023

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm coming round to Martinez at CDM, at least for this game. He looked really good when he stepped into midfield, always passes progressively, and senses danger in a way Fred just doesn't.

Would speak volumes about Ten Hag's opinion of Fred's performance if he puts Licha in midfield.

Real Name · Feb 10, 2023

Lisandro wont play in midfield. You can be sure of that.

Ayoba · Feb 10, 2023

I think we'll drop points again unfortunately. The number of games is catching up to the players, they look tired even against palace. Leeds fans will be bouncing, plus our away record isn't that great.

GregM40 · Feb 10, 2023

It’ll be the same midfield I think, as we really don’t have any other options. Up front changes is where the difference will be.

de Gea
Wan Bissaka Varane Martinez Shaw
Fred Sabitzer
Bruno
Antony Rashford Sancho

We’ve played some great football with those 3 up top on the few games they’ve played together.
That’s two wide men able to keep the ball high up the pitch and are pressure proof

Dempsey19 · Feb 10, 2023

People putting Fred in their starting XI better hope he puts on a United jersey this time.

Who else is there to play in midfield? Cas suspended, Mctominay injured.

Think the fanbase was too hard on Garnacho today; he will bounce back. Fred needs dropping.

What? Our fans and media are being horrendously short-sighted and reactionary?

If AWB and Antony are still injured, otherwise they should start.
