I'm starting a new feature today, under the title "All the footprints you've ever left and fear expecting ahead", more commonly known as, the big match preview. So, without further ado...
12 injured first team players and it's a sign of our strength in depth that the probable teams listed in the papers still have a pretty good look about them. The Mirror go with:
With West Brom also having numerous injury problems I can only see a Man Utd win here. I'll go for a 2-0 scoreline, we'll have too much for them going forward and our defence should be more than capable of shutting them out.

Van der Sar, Fletcher, Neville, Vidic, O'Shea, Scholes, Carrick, Ronaldo, Giggs, Tevez, BerbatovOn the Sky Sports website they give:
Van der Sar, Eckersley, Neville, Vidic, O'Shea, Ronaldo, Carrick, Fletcher, Tosic, Tevez, Berbatov.While The Times go for:
E van der Sar — D Fletcher, G Neville, N Vidic, J O'Shea — D Gibson, M Carrick, R Giggs, C Ronaldo — D Berbatov, C Tévez.All of which look plausible. Eckersley looked good when he came on against Spurs but not sure we won't be going for Fletcher there for his Premier League experience. In the midfield I think I prefer The Mirror's suggestion, though it would be interesting to see Tosic get a start, he looked more than capable when he came on at the weekend, would be good to see what he could do from the start, but again experience might be the key, given the chance to keep the pressure on the other teams by going three points clear with a win. And with Liverpool facing a potentially tricky trip to Wigan tomorrow night.
