Pereira will still play this, i imagine.

 

[Elliott]

According to @jb8521, Wilson was involved in the behind-closed-doors friendly against Bury so you'd reckon he might feature.

 

[MPTutd]

I would like to see LVG at the game tonight. Needs to go and watch the reserves.

I would expect Will Keane to start up front.

 

[SirAF]

Looking forward to this tonight! Hope to see Wilson and Pereira.

 

[gooDevil]

Oh snap, didn't think there was a game till next week, thanks @khoazany.

Why the feck have Pearson/Rothwell been benched for Anderson ?

Seems a 3-5-2 as well.

 

[MPTutd]

Please can someone put up a non-twitter copy of the team.

 

[limerickcitykid]

feck off Anderson.

 

[bosnian_red]

Januzaj and Shaw starting for the u21's? Not sure what to make of that really. Good to get some match sharpness back I guess.

Shaw has to start. Barely played in pre-season. Needs some minutes on the pitch.

 

[SirAF]

Shaw & Januzaj! Actually looking forward to see Ando as well, still love the little bastard.

 

[MPTutd]

This is proper old-school reserve football where first teamers player.

Guess this may be the way this season as we have on Champions League.

Janko, McNair, Vermijl, Shaw
Thorpe,
Harrop, Pereira, Anderson,

W. Keane, Januzaj

 

[MPTutd]

Still can't see it. Work PC so limited on what I can do.

 

[In Rainbows]

Poor Sunderland

Ben picked up a knock last week with the international team so might explain him not being ready to start. Not sure about Joe.

Good man.

Like that team. Certainly has some goals in it.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Wilson injured again? Bit of a recurring theme, unfortunately.

 

[FromTheBench]

Curious btw that the U21s are sticking to 3-5-2 as well seemingly.

Bloody no.I would have Pearson/Rothwell any day of the week.

Bollocks! I had forgotten about him in the excitment of seeing Shaw starting.. Annoying if he's injured again

Amos
Janko--Vermijl--McNair--Shaw
Thorpe
Harrop--Anderson
Pereira
Januzaj--W.Keane

Should have started Rothwell instead of Anderson. Anderson is finished at this club so it doesn't make sense to me.

 

[SirAF]

I agree, but I can't help it! Love the wee mascot!

 

[bosnian_red]

Anyone have a stream for this? Interested to see how Shaw, Januzaj and Pereira do.

 

[arthurka]

Oh feck off Anderson

 

[FromTheBench]

Wilson injured again? Bit of a recurring theme, unfortunately.

He played some part in the Bury friendly and scored. Not fully recovered yet though as per LVG.

He picks up injuries pretty similar to what Welbeck used too at that age while growing. Hope it's not related to his ankle break and he can grow out of them.

Vermijl isn't really a CB. Seems a 3 at the back to me.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Is it a 3-5-2? May give a hint that Van Gaal still sees it as his primary system.

 

[Gerald G]

Vermijl isn't really a CB. Seems a 3 at the back to me.

I said the same but according to MUTV that's how they will lineup.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Curious btw that the U21s are sticking to 3-5-2 as well seemingly.

They are lining up exactly the same as yesterdays team. 4 at the back, a midfield diamond and two up front.

 

[Ekeke]

Cant we just release Anderson so he doesn't stop others from getting games?

 

[backofthenet]

Stream anyone?

 

[sammsky1]

Anyone pls PM me a working stream?

 

[J-Stander]

Stream would be appreciated.

 

[FromTheBench]

Someone pm me a working river please.

 

[khoazany]

I think Van Gaal saw Vermijl more of a CB that's why we have played him there quite a bit for the U21s.
