Winning this means we can close the gap to Liverpool to three points. Which would put a lot of pressure on them. We’ve got to do it.

Man Utd will get a result at Anfield, just like last season, when nobody gave them a chance.

Rashford’s Redemption. I see it.

Regardless, we have some business to finish with these seaside cunts. I expect some rotation again and hopefully another three points.

The forward line will be interesting. You have to think Trossard comes back into the side. My guess is that Martinelli will keep his place because Arteta will hope he can build on his goal and also won’t want to start Nwaneri three days after his first start of the year. We’ve also got a very tough match against an in form Newcastle three days later.

If we score first, I see a comfortable win. Otherwise I see a hard-fought victory. Expect us to win.

Danny Welbeck and Evan Ferguson are ruled out

Six first-teamers out for Brighton.

James Milner, Mats Wieffer, and Ferdi Kadioglu are all expected to miss out alongside Welbeck, Ferguson, and Gomez.

Its kind of mad that despite all the young attacking players they bought Welbz is still their top scorer and first choice striker.

WEATHER FORECAST for our traveling fans tomorrow. I’ll give it a 25% chance of being called-off now the Met Office have issued a Yellow Warning.

Rain is forecast to arrive in the Brighton area around 4-5pm, patchy at first. However, the higher elevation of the stadium could mean that rain falls as sleet and snow, it’s the kind of knife-edge situation that gives forecasters sleepless nights.

Becoming gusty as the evening progresses, conditions could be pretty awful, so wrap up.

Temperature at start of match 3oC, by the final whistle 1oC.

For the trip back to London, the area between and including the North and South Downs is likely to be cold enough for the rain to turn to snow for a time as the temperature drops. Sleety rain more likely for London tomorrow evening. The M23 and M25s should be okay unless there’s a proper blizzard, which I think is unlikely.

Turning mild overnight Saturday with temperatures of 12oC on Sunday before the cold returns.

I have been saying that we are out of the title race and I mean it. If we can cut this lead to 3 and United go to Anfield tomorrow with a big point to prove, it will be interesting to see how Liverpool handle the pressure. I trust our defence not to concede more than one, so our attack need to turn up.

There is literally zero chance of United going to Anfield tomorrow and getting anything. Easiest Liverpool +3 of your lives.

Hear me out! United stink and Liverpool are better in every regard. United can’t keep losing though. An undeserved draw is possible.

I cannot see Liverpool hammering them tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if we do not win today.

In all events it sounds a bleak trip for anyone going. I hope our football gives them something to cheer.

He’s out with daditis.

Partey RB :wright2:

In terms of creativity this team depends on 17 year old Nwaneri
