After our great wins against Liverpool and Villa, the players will be well up for this. 2-0 to the mighty blues.

Scrappy game. Defence will need to play well. It'll take a while to get a foot on the game. Home advantage will see us through.
Wouldnt be surprised if Southgate rested some players.
Jagielka RB just wasnt good at Blackburn, it means we dont have someone running down the right and crossing the ball, so id put Neville and Gosling on the right, Far better than Osman/Jagielka on the right.

Or play Saha and replace Osman/Fellaini.

Defence has been pretty solid since Villa game in early December
