I’m not too sure that tonight’s match will be as straight-forward as some have suggested. Despite the fact (*snigger*) that Sir Alex Ferguson will be able to call on a fresh set of legs in midfield and up front, I see United making a game of this – in the sense of letting Newcastle get in amongst them and struggling for a result.
Here’s my prediction in terms of the line-up, in a loose 4-4-2 formation:
Rooney Berbatov
Ronaldo Fletcher Carrick Park
Fabio Ferdinand Vidic O’Shea
Van der Sar
It’s a shame Scholes probably won’t be playing tonight – though chances are he will manage the FA Cup game this weekend – as he has a fabulous scoring record against the Bar-Codes.
