Surprised DDG is starting

decent line up.

Eric Bailly needs to be on it today.

Don't slate Dan James, He'll come good for us.

Good line up.

I am as well.

being able to bring Pogba, Martial & Greenwood off the bench is quite the luxury

No Martial is a surprise.

Williams vs Willian will be interesting.

Also a bit disappointed not to see Ighalo get give a start but we look well set up to play on the break today.

Willian will be the main threat for them

This is a good game for him. Chelsea won't sit back which will create plenty of running room for him

No Pulisic at all

I think we've possibly gone a little stronger than Chelsea but the benches are certainly there to make an impact if required. I see Bruno getting an hour today unless fully recharged. Makes sense to be easing Pogba in I think as well if we were going to rest one of them

Tiny bit odd, given that of the 11 players who have started our most recent games, he looks least in need of a rest.

Whereas Bruno and AWB surely wanted a day off.

So 5 at the back, with AWB as a wing-back then.

Is it still 5 subs for the FA cup?

team set out to defend?

Hopefully. Nothing against James but I'd personally have gone for Ighalo there. Him and Rashford would still be useful on the break and would carry more of a goal threat.

Jose Gunnar Solskjaer

Really want a win today but for the club moving forward, attracting players and cash wise top 4 is important, take a turgid 1-0 today

surprised at a couple of starters there.

Bruno, thought he’d get a rest.

DDG - Romero is capable in this match.

Also I’m not fully confident we’ll win tonight. Just can’t see us being 4th time lucky.

Oh and AWB needs to up his game. Fatigue, probably an excuse at some point but still.

There aren't many goals in that lineup either. In fact, you could say fairly confidently that the only way we score today is through Bruno or Rashford. The rest of the team has zero goal threat

Hoped Ole would rest Martial and one of Pogba and Bruno

Hopefully Bruno only gets 60 mins or so.

Surprised bruno is starting

Probably needs a rest more than anyone

Maguire from a corner maybe. Missed a few of late but scored one against Chelsea earlier this season. Agree in general though. Like I said above, I'd have gone with Ighalo over James.
