    You can't win 9 nil and then drop somebody. Pogba will have to sit it out and come off the bench unless Cavani is out.

    Another tough away match, hopefully we can keep the streak going.

    Maguire’s suspension is a huge miss, would have needed his aerial presence against DCL.

    It’s in our hands.

    We need a lot of changes to the selection options:
    Rojo, Mengi, Lingard, Pellistri, Ighalo are all out

    We need to maintain that balance up top and start with Martial on the left with Cavani up top & Greenwood from the right - Rashford will be more effective coming off the bench in this match.

    Pogba for either Fred or McTominay and we have a strong attacking set up.

    Just hope Shaw and AWB are fit to play - I think Bailly for Lindelof if the back's playing up.

    DVB had a great chance to showcase his skills and was the stand out disappointment from last night - anonymous against a worn out and shellshocked team. The Premier league is too much for him sadly.

    9 points in the next 3 league matches is an absolute must to make up for losing the points against Sheffield Utd

    I really enjoy watching Mctominay when he is having a good game. Really crisp and quick movement and passing. Pogba is individually brilliant but i think our football is overall better with Fred & Scott in the engine room. We move the ball faster and it reaches our attacking players in better positions. If Pogba should play it should be further forward, he is at his best in the last third imo. Let`s hope Ole finds the right setup here and we can get another win.

    A bit overboard, really?

    He was disappointing last night, but no need to say he can't handle the premier league.

    Will take any win obviously, don't care how, it's all about starting another unbeaten run with majority victories. It's so tempting to put Pogba in the team, he hasn't necessarily done anything to be dropped but that starting line-up last night just seemed 'right'.

    I'd probably pick the same XI, depending on Cavani's knock (I doubt it'll stop him playing). Pogba & Martial as great options from the bench.

    I think we look a better team in 4-2-3-1
    McT and Fred should be the 2 every time for me, our back 4 can not be trusted. My proffered 1 has to be Cavani .

    Is the thread title really not going to be fixed?

    Are we an American forum now?

    Hoping for a strong lineup in this game. Everton are a decent team, and after this we have West Brom and Newcastle in the league, plus an FA Cup and two Europa games. That's probably the last spell of relatively lower pressure football we get between now and the end of the season. Beat Everton and we give ourselves a chance to rest some players and give others more minutes on the pitch throughout February til we play Chelsea on the last day of the month. After that, its big game after big game right til the end.

    I'd basically go with the same team that started last night, assuming everyone is fit to go. I think Greenwood is more comfortable on the right than Rashford, and while Martial had a decent cameo last night, I still think Rashford is the better bet for the left based on form.

    With Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin up front its essential that we put pressure on James in midfield to stop him pinging throughballs through our backline. With Maguire and Lindelof both being slow and De Gea being reluctant to come off his line, we're vulnerable to that. Getting McTominay and Fred to press him throughout should help out.

    Im not particularly worried about Everton, but it'll need a good performance to beat them. I don't see us scoring too many, but we're good for a 1-0 or 2-0 win I reckon.

    The fact we managed to provide rest for Pogba, Shaw, Cavani, Rashford will help us on Saturday.
    Plus, Everton play tonight so we have an extra day rest on them. They also play Leeds which means they aren't half going to have to run a lot!

    It's weird seeing Everton first on the title. It was confusing as i know we played them away first and this was supposed to be at OT.

    Someone should correct the title.

    Hard not to go with the same team really, although would be amazed if Pogba doesn't come in for either McSauce or Greenwood.

    Expect Bailly to play over Lindelof if he's fit enough too.

    This - Ensure Pogba comes back for this one and pressure them. With the speed we have, a single mistake from them will be a big chance for us to score.

    Get a W and keep the good momentum going.

    Baffles me that people are putting Pogba wide.

    I was someone guilty of this, only when we come up against the tougher sides, but we're clearly a better side and looked much more balanced with two wingers, who keep the width and create overloads out wide.

    If Pogba plays, it should be in a pivot.
    This, i think greenwood has played quite well their in the last two games

    I would start with mcfred and keep pogba as a handy inpact sub

    Only my opinion and I would like to see him succeed but so far he's done little to convince me - it's our playing style and in the City team / set up he would be better. My point is that in last night's match he had the opportunity to suit his style with our high possession - I suspect it will only be an injury to Bruno or Pogba that would give him a longer spell in the team and it's clear Ole doesn't rate him that highly otherwise he'd have played in more matches.

    Nice to see Everton have a day less rest than us against feisty, industrious opposition in Leeds.

    Exactly the team I would start with.
    I feel we need Bailly to counteract Calvert-Lewins physicality and aerial prowess, Lindelof just doesn't seem strong enough to me, he was bustled off the ball several times last night, and C-L is a far tougher proposition.
    We certainly moved the ball quicker last night, without Pogba playing, and I think that is how we move on.

    I’m not sure you should change or rotate a team that just won 9-0, at least give them another game
    They should all be buzzing and we have West Ham a few days later so Pogba,Martial and James can come in then

    Agreed, same team for me. Morale among that lot will be sky high. Tuesday-Saturday isn’t massively taxing on them anyway.

    Everton Blues versus The Manchester Devils @7/8 e/p

    Live from the Chevy Arena
    Manchester United, known locally as the Toffees travel to Everton's fortress Old Trafford to contest a hotly anticipated top four battle. Carlo Ancelotti, known best for his time winning the CL twice with Inter Milan, could be the man to inflict a heavy loss on Manchester United's stalwart CB Ole Solskjaer, who scored the winner versus Dortmund to complete famous 99 trophies in 3 A.D.
