I’m not feeling confident at all today about this game… not sure why, I just feel like they’re pretty good at home, and we’re still not great away. I’d be happy enough with a point to be honest, even if we have to grind out a draw that’s fine by me.

I know what you mean. I have the same feeling however we’re actually 4th best team in the league away and they are 11th best at home. 
 

I just wish we had McGinn and Ramsey playing.

I always cringe at the 'Cup Final' match thread titles.  (I know it's somewhat tongue-in-cheek but can't help it!)

This morning however, seeing the return of this nomenclature tickled just the right spots of anticipation, excitement and nostalgia of previous successful runs.

So now I'm very much

Thanks man, cold hard stats have reassured me! 

I wish we had Kamara, McGinn, Ramsey, Buendia, Mings and (hopefully we will!) Ollie!

I’m pretty sure Ollie will be fine though.
UTV!

United and spurs were 2 great opportunities if we just didn't lose. 

I'll be disappointed if for the 3rd time we can't at least get a draw from a similar type of game.

                                 Martinez

                Konsa.     Pau.     Langley

Cash.                                                 Moreno

                      Luiz.          Tielemans

Bailey.                                              Diaby

                             Watkins

 

I don't think Tim is going to be able to give us 3 x 90 top performances in a row so maybe have an option to have an extra CB.  Also Wet Spam play on the counter so we wouldn't be playing them at their game

Let’s not play a back three, after it worked so well against Spurs.

Need to show our metal today and put in a good performance.

Hopefully Unai will be ruthless enough to pull off any under performers.

We've never won there, and I feel like they are one of our bogey teams. So not being confident is very normal.

Got to start well and keep it tight. Need to win the midfield battle. Defence nothing silly get a clean sheet. Starts of second half's need to be better to.

Emery isn't a fan of drawing games, and it's often why we win so many. If you think of games like Luton and Brentford away, we took more points than we looked likely to take within game. Man U game at home is a reverse example of this. I think we've got to take the rough with the smooth to some extent.
