Did we win 7 in a row at start of season? Let's go for 8.

This. I'm no expert on reading CB's, but he hasn't looked completely gassed at all this season. He's honestly one of few that seem to consistently finish matches strongly and he doesn't seem injury prone. Would love to see his run as first-choice continue for a very long time.

Didn’t he do a shed load of extra conditioning in Ibiza or somewhere close season with a top fitness trainer. Remember seeing an article about it.

Ancelotti said: “I didn’t decide yet for tomorrow but for sure because we are going to play a lot of games, I’m going to rotate the goalkeepers.

“If Jordan (Pickford) plays tomorrow, then Robin(Olsen) will play against Sheffield United or vice versa.”

Echo tweet of Ole’s presser says that he wants to ‘protect’ Bruno, ie sit him tomorrow

FWIW Utd have Leicester in the early Boxing Day game

If he's not playing it's HUGE news. We can spank them good and early so they might just write this one off and not risk him.

Put your house on them getting another dodgy pen.

Nothing more certain

Well since James is out might as well stick with the same way we've been playing even though it's was starting to falter at Arsenal I thought, Let Richarlison target who they put at RB and hopefully get some joy from that area since AWB who is a very good 1 vs 1 defender is ruled out.

 

[Martin Alvito]

This is their side v Brighton. Think it’ll look similar + no Wan Bissaka, McTomminey.

Funny thing is, that side did better than the first team did in the preceding fixture - but that was probably more because Brighton also rotated heavily for the rematch.

I just don't see them throwing that hard, knowing that we're coming out guns blazing. Protect the guys with niggles and swap the goalkeepers, sure. But OGS could really use "a pot worth winning", as SAF described it.

Good luck to Carlo and the team for tomorrow's game. So important to win this one!

yup we need and I pray we win

Put your house on them getting another dodgy pen.

No VAR for this game - almost guaranteed to be a "controversial" (i. e. wrong) decision against us.

No VAR, this will make a difference

Defenders must be told to stay on their feet & not dive in when in the penalty box...

One touch & Rashford,Martial or Fernandes are down, we must be aware & focused...

We can win this but we need a clean sheet so must be smart....
