One down one to go in United’s double header of Premier League and FA Cup games this Easter Bank holiday, with the Reds winning 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, yet still managing to rest several players .
A win today at Stamford Bridge would not only set up the ultimate Semi Final but keep United on track for a historic double, with the league all but assured.
Of the players that started the game at Sunderland only perhaps Michael Carrick and David De Gea- following the injury to Rafael- are expected to be named in the starting line up today.
Sir Alex Ferguson will be able to pick practically a full strength side today and the Reds will need one after Rafa Benitez rested several of his stars for Chelsea’s defeat against Southampton.
Predicted XI: David De Gea, Phil Jones, Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Nani, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Chicharito.
Do you agree? Feel free to name your side below:
De Gea; Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Nani, Cleverley, Giggs, Welbeck; Rooney, Hernandez.
SUBS: Lindegaard, Vidic, Valencia, Carrick, Young, Kagawa, van Persie
