Manchester United travel to Crystal Place tonight at 6pm East African Time and here are 10 things we expect from today's match:
1. 3 points and a win. These draws are becoming frustrating.
2. Attacking football - more energy in the final ball.
3. Ander Herrera to start - in #10 position. His creativity is needed.
4. Wayne Rooney to be dropped - if LVG cannot allow it, he can begin him on the bench.
WR10 needs to rest, he needs to get his head in the game and possibly, he just needs... whatever. Rest him.
5. Marcos Rojo bossing the left wing - Rojo continues to take that role with verve. He needs to, now that he lacks natural wingers to support up front.
6. Anthony Martial Officiel to play centre forward role. Martial has been sidelined on the left - and he only came up during CSKA game - it pulls him too behind as he protects the wing, and defenders are on him - away from goal.
He was more effective in CF that Left Wing.
7. Juan Mata's fresh feet - Mata looked slow and for sure, he's had a gruelling schedule.
We hope he comes back strong and eager to score - just like the other time.
8. Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger combination in defensive midfield role.
Michael Carrick featured on Wednesday and he was very ineffective.
Maybe it was the game, but you could see how Bastian could have done it differently.
9. The return of DDG on goal and a clean sheet.
Man United's defence is solid and now, with Chris Smalling and Phil Jones putting in much time together - and also with Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo on the wings, and Schneiderlin box-to-box cover, there should be more cover at the back.
10. The Big Fella not playing in defensive midfield role.
This season, Fellaini has mainly taken DM roles because of so much young, natural talent up front.
However, he's quite slow with the ball, unable to retain it and he's easily dispossessed.
He's a huge risk taking that role, it seems. LVG should find a way to make the right tactical positioning for Marouane Fellaini
-- What else do you expect to see in today's game?
