Well this is interesting.

We don't really know what that might be, because Ferguson is notoriously good at keeping his cards close to his chest on lineups and shapes, but that seems to imply that they're not going to go with their now standard 4-4-1-1 with a Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez pairing. Comedy predition: Michael Owen starts. Less comedy, but still a prediction, from Gene Um of The Busby Babe: Antonio Valencia starts at right back, with Nani also playing. We'll just have to wait and see.
