So what do we think? Desperately need Hendo back. Either way I think we need to play Lallana in midfield. Front three all have question marks for one reason or another. By hook or by crook I think I'd have Phil, Origi and Firmino.
Ar the back I doubt Matip will be ready, if he isn't then same back four as tonight, hopefully without the brain farts.
Yup. Think it will be Divock, Bob and Phil as a top three with Gini, Hendo and Lallana as our midfield. I think Hendo will be good to go and will obviously be essential to us getting a result here. Can is massively under form and is too big a risk to start for mine. It will be a game of small margins and brain farts will cost either team the game and suffice to say, Can could well be prone to a few of those the way he's performing at the moment.
I'm not too concerned about overall form if I'm honest. United have played mediocre in the lead up to the corresponding fixtures against us, yet still managed something from each game, except the first leg in the Europa league last season. Why can't we do the same? If our mentally is as good as we think it is, then we should be able to weather the storm. They've been playing well without being outstanding and barring the Spurs match have had a pretty easy run of games.
It's always a game of fine margins. Always. We need to keep our nerve and get the one percenters right. Stifling Carrick in midfield will determine the result for mine.
