Well it's the Baggies up next for us, they've been in good form of late and their front three of Rondon, Berahino and Sessen..whatever his name could be a handful. We are in good form ourselves but this could be tricky and I'd take another hard fought win, if we can get through this with the 3 points then we'll be in good shape going into a tough run of games.
The last few games have caught up with some players so we could do with some rotation for this one and more faces back.
De Gea, Varela, Smalling, Rojo, Darmian, Carrick, Schneiderlin, Lingard/Rashford, Mata, Memphis, Martial.

Saw the Baggies match against Leicester on Tuesday and they fought like lions for that 2 - 2 away draw so this one could be a struggle Ideally we can score early and kill the game off in the first half to save some energy instead of chasing a result for 80 minutes I think LVG will still stick with Blind - even if a rest would do him some good - and select Rashford ahead of Lindgard .... so I'll go with: DDG
Varela Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick Schneiderlin
Rashford Mata Memphis
Martial

Man Utd have turned the corner and sometimes you just need a little bit of luck. I thought they were lucky against Watford, who had a couple of chances and probably two months ago they would have scored and come away with a 2-0 win and everybody would have been booing. But they score in the last five minutes and everybody goes home happy, they are on a roll.
Man City have just opened up the possibility of Champions League qualification for everybody, so instead of Liverpool and Man Utd looking forward to the Europa League on Thursday, these are now bigger football matches. And if you had said that three weeks ago, I would have said: 'No chance.'
But I am going to for Man Utd 2-1 as I think they are rolling now.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2

Always had a very good record against Pulis sides in the past, seemed to struggle against them much less than other bigger teams but this is a different United side now. They're on a good run of form and I see this as our toughest game of the last few weeks. We could do with getting at least Smalling back in this defence and I wouldn't be disappointed to see Fellaini back and starting this game either.
My head says this has draw written all over it but my heart is saying the confidence we've gained from the last 4 games will aid the side to another 3 points.

Watford type battle all over it, Smalling back would be good.

It could be a game changer if some of our players can come back

Was saying I wouldn't be against giving Fellaini a game but I don't know who's place I'd have him taking. That midfield 3 of Herrera, Schneiderlin and Mata are starting to get something going, so I'd be reluctant to take any of them out of the side. Then again it may be sensible to just give some players a rest anyway with the amount of games they've all played recently and the amount we've got coming up.
Probably take 1 of Mata/Herrera out as they're more likely to get bullied and have their game completely nullified.

Well, what is there to say? We took advantage of midweek's top-4 drama and we we can now potentially reduce the gap with Arsenal and the third spot to just one point (Arsneal are facing a very tough away game at the Lane)
I don't think much more needs to be said. We must win. Time to climb back and make Arsenal and City shaky. We're the dark horse, and I hope we have the spirit to grab the victories. Time to act like a proper top team once again.

A lot of talk that Van Gaal might be forced to rest Blind, but Jones might be coming back... I don't even know who's available anymore. I'm going with: De Gea
Varela Fosu-Mensah Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin Herrera
Martial Mata Memphis
Rashford |
