I'm a neutral for this one, but I think Chelsea will beat United by one or two goals. I'd probably guess 2-1 or 3-1 final score. Good luck tho.

Fair enough, I can't quite see De Gea conceding three goals in a big game like this, but we could conceivably get beat.

You need the defence to be on top form today. Are you expecting Shaw to start?

How are we all feeling going into this match today?
I am nervous, but confident that we can get the full three points. Quote:
Either him or Blind at left back would do for me, as I have full confidence in both of them to perform well in that position.

I wasn't that nervous this morning because I'd have been happy with a draw but I am now listening to the current City score. If it stays like this, we really have to try and take advantage, but it's traditionally one of our toughest away fixtures.
Blind for me. Shaw looked a bit rusty last game. Because dilemna for me is whether to play Mata or not. He was on fire Thursday. I like Blind, he is very underrated, but he is fantastic, so yeah I wouldn't mind seeing him in the side. Mata would be very handy to have in the side, plus he will have the extra bit of motivation of wanting to do well at his old club. |

Well it is Blind and not Shaw who starts.

Lingard in for Young, no Rooney at all (injury) and Mata on the bench.

We continue to get chances to close the gap, yet will we?
Today is a must win game. |

No it isn't.
We will be between 3 and 6 points off the top at the end of what was a tricky week for us, with 87 further points available. Hopefully we can get the three but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a 'must win'. Good ol' Saints!

Now we have made it that bit harder to get a win, deary me.
Not the way to start such an important match. |

Well the positives are that it's still early doors and if I could pick us to go one down to any team in the top six and still get a result, I'd pick this current Chelsea team. Their defence can be got at.. We are buggerred if they score next, mind.

Fellaini and Pogba are not working in midfield.
Blind & Smalling are all over the place. This is going to be a long old afternoon! |

So frustrating, dropped points at Anfield, and getting beat here, after the result against Stoke, our league form is not looking pretty, huge pressure now on the Burnley game.

Oh dear.
Draw is absolutely the best to hope for here now. In Smallings defence, I think Sky called that one wrong. Smalling was wrong-footed because the ball deflected off Herrera. At least that's what it looked like to me. |

Such a poor start. Don't think I've seen us crumble this bad in such a short space of time

Looks like it's going to be just one league win in six now bar an amazing comeback, not good.

The team look so flat footed and out of energy. Jose needs to give them a big shake at half time and tell them to wake up!

Still optimistic that if we can hold them from scoring again before half time, we can turn this around.

Simply too many changes in the team. Regardless of who we just beat, the team played well together. Granted Rooney could not play but that was the only change needed.

But yes, we're not completely out of this yet if they don't score again. |

If you mean win, I think that's beyond us. Too many of our players are having mares. If I could change the whole team, I'd only leave Herrera and one or two others on.

Don't know why we didn't stick with the bulk of the team we set up with on Thursday.
They actually played as a team. Ibra is isolated. Pogba and Fellaini don't work together. Blind isn't a full time defender, let alone left back!!! It's going to be a stressful second half if something doesn't change. |
