Team News

Manchester United

Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Patrick McNair not available. Phil Jones unlikely to play. James Wilson and Jesse Lingard omitted from travelling squad.

Ipswich Town

Teddy Bishop sidelined with hamstring injury. Ryan Fraser and Kevin Bru expected to be available. Dean Gerken facing late medical test.

Know the opposition

Ipswich Town FC nicknamed The Blues, and The Tractor Boys, are a professional football club based in Ipswich, Suffolk, England; and were founded in 1878 as Ipswich Town Association Football Club at the instigation of T.C. Cobbold of the famed brewing family, before the eventual merger with Ipswich Rugby Club to form Ipswich Town Football Club in 1888, and turning professional in 1936. Ipswich Town play their home games at Portman Road, and have an intense rivalry with Norwich City in a match termed the East Anglian Derby, both sides having faced each other a total of 132 times since 1902. Although Ipswich Town have competed in the lower leagues in recent season, they have a proud history - having never lost a European tie at home - while facing the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Internazionale; being one of only 23 clubs to be crowned the Champions of English football, apart from winning the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup; and being managed by two icons of English football - Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson.

Historic Meetings

Manchester United's 9-0 dismantling of Ipswich Town in 1995 still stands as the all time Premier League record for margin of victory.

Hernandez - BFA · Sep 20, 2015

Oh good shit. Had no idea this was this week.

Hoping to see an exciting youthful line up.
Memphis needs a break.
Rooney should play just so he can hopefully gain some confidence and club form.
Pereira and Wilson will hopefully make an appearance.

With all that being said, I want to win. Last thing we want to see is another MK Dons.

Damien · Sep 20, 2015

Only De Gea and Powell remain from the starting XI that lost to MK Dons a year ago.

theyneverlearn · Sep 20, 2015

The score prediction doesn't go up to 9...

Raw · Sep 20, 2015

Hoping to see Wilson start this. Rest Martial.

Don't go full youth, have a nice mix and get a few goals early. Can't wait to see Pereira for this.

DomesticTadpole · Sep 20, 2015

You would presume Herrera and Fellaini and Wilson will start. Pereira as well. Apart from that I have absolutely no idea what the team will be.

FromTheBench · Sep 20, 2015

Want Pereira and Wilson starting.

Don't mind any combination with the rest.

DWelbz19 · Sep 20, 2015

Hope to see Pereira and Wilson start. Herrera too. Don't change the back 6 too much.

Rooney/Wilson

I would obviously keep Martial and Memphis on but I think Van Gaal will rest them so they don't burnout and to manage them properly.

prateik · Sep 20, 2015

Is Mick Mccarthy still the manager there? They are pretty decent from what little I know.. Van Gaal won't play a severely weakened side... not that we have enough players to do that any way.

Think Fellaini will be in there somewhere.

charlenefan · Sep 20, 2015

Hhmm ring the changes or play as close to our best XI as we need to win a trophy this season...

SinghofSteel · Sep 20, 2015

Give Memphis and Martial a break please.

Wilson and maybe Lingard?

Definitely want to see Pereira there too. I think BFS should also play.

Ole's_toe_poke · Sep 20, 2015

I think he'll be vary of making too many changes after MK Dons last season.

JTW95 · Sep 20, 2015

Don't give a toss. Just play the entire u21's.

We can't waste valuable energy of our top players on this tournament when we have the Champions League as well.

Pereira and Wilson etc will not play in the league or CL unless we are down to the bare bones, this competition and the F.A. Cup will be vital for them and to get players who don't always play full games extra minutes.

People keep talking about MK Dons yet did they remember what kind of back 5 did we play against them?Plus the midfield two.

We'll have 4 games in the next 2 weeks.It's necessary to heavily rotate on this game.Rather this than PL/CL games.

Stack · Sep 20, 2015

Is Lingard still with us?. If so would like him, Perriera an Wilson to start

saivet · Sep 20, 2015

Will there be a stream for this? I know it's not on tv in the UK and some FA Cup/League Cup games are not broadcasted anywhere

We need a trophy..look at City and Chelsea in recent years, this has been the trophy that has kicked off their dominance of sorts.

Plus I'm desperate for that first Post Fergie trophy.

Raw · Sep 20, 2015

It will be just like him to pick somebody not even on the list.

JB08 · Sep 20, 2015

Give Pereira minutes please. Perfect for him.

Not sure it really made a difference to City or Chelsea. Arsenal's FA Cup wins aren't doing them much good elsewhere.

Can understand the desperation for a trophy but I'm a snob. There's only two that I really care about United winning.

Well, Liverpool have won this trophy more than us..Here's another reason to win it! ...And the Glory Glory Man United song, one can actually sing the full lyrics again...

Just the league and UCL?

Bojan11 · Sep 20, 2015

Why do people want to play a full strength team?

The only regulars should be Rojo, Young, Fellaini and Herrera. If our young players can't beat Ipswich at home then we got issues.

Our big focus should be the premier league especially Sunderland. As Man City play Spurs away and could drop points.
