So many questions about this one. Will he go out to defend with all hands on deck and tin hats on and not let Scum score, with the object of scoring on the break as usual? Or will he shock everyone by going and taking the game to them? Will he use the returned Ade, or Bridge or Vieira? Does the long run-out for Boyata, Petrov, Robinho and (mercifully) Benjani mean they can forget it for Weds?
I reckon as Garrido was rested and there's still no sign of Bridge at Scunny, that Bridge is not back yet. I also reckon he'll stick with Tevez as a lone front man, and Richards as RB.
Put DeJong on Rooney, you know it makes sense!

I like your team John. Personally I'm torn between keeping Richards and Ned as they are in your team, or swapping them.
Richards adding a touch more pace down that Middle, and ned staying out of the Box. He gave away a Pen against Chelsea, and reached for a challenge in the box late on....I think it was against Rooney.
They aren't concerns, just making the right decision in a tie where the smallest of mistakes could mean Victory or defeat.
