So, The Carling Cup. Really looking forward to it. Looking forward to a great game of fooball and looking forward to getting a trophy in the bag. Can't see any result but a Man Utd win. Whichever team we put out, with the confidence coursing through the team, I think we'll just have too much for Spurs. And let's face it, any talk of our team being weakened is just wishful thinking on certain people's parts. Plus, for Spurs "Robbie Keane, Wilson Palacios, Pascal Chimbonda and Carlo Cudicini are all cup-tied", so who's team is weak? I see it going much the same as the FA Cup tie, but without the early Spurs goal.
As to the actual team, Sir Alex has said there'll be seven changes from the team against Inter and that Gibson and Welbeck will both start.
From that base we just need the four players from Tuesday who will start, which is kind of intersting. We must assume Neville isn't going to play, so O'Shea will be at right back, Evans to continue in central defence, probably with Vidic, although if he isn't fully fit Ferdinand may have to start, I think Evra must be staying at Left-back, because otherwise, by my reckoning, there'll be more than seven changes.
Here's my team: Foster, O'Shea, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Welbeck, Carrick, Gibson, Nani, Tevez, Rooney.
That based on the seven changes, however I wouldn't be surprised if Scholes came in for Carrick, making an additional change. Fabio is tipped to play ahead of Evra in a couple of places. Some places give the team a completely different look with Giggs and Ronaldo both in, however I think these players are more likely to come from the bench if necessary.
The point all this proves is that our squad is amazingly strong and whoever plays we'll just be too good.
Prediction? I'm looking on the side of the optimistic with a nice early goal settling us down and enabling us to dominate the game. 3-0 is what I'm going for, and I also expect Tevez to have a great game.
