Can Derby Beat United Again?



After a 1-0 defeat at Pride Park, Man United have no choice but win tomorrow. Sir Alex has said that he will field a younger side but that isn't such a bad thing, players which he could field are- Rafael, Gibson, Possebon Nani, Anderson, Evans, Welbeck, Tosic and Tevez.

Fabio da Silva is in the squad so we could see both brothers playing together.

Tosic could make his debut tomorrow which is a bit of a surprise considering United did say that he should make his debut at the end of February.

Berbatov and Van Der Sar aren't in the squad for tomorrows match but senior players will be on the bench just incase it doesn't go to plan.

Derby have Connolly and Stewart back from suspension but they will be without Ellington after suffering a hamstring injury.


Derby fans are expected to make a record tomorrow, they are expected to take 8,000 fans which would be a record number of fans at an away match at Old Trafford.


Manchester United: Kuszczak, Foster, Amos, Rafael, Neville, Vidic, Evans, Chester, O'Shea, Fabio, Ronaldo, Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Possebon, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Tosic, Tevez, Welbeck, Macheda.

Derby: Carroll, Albrechtsen, Todd, Nyatanga, Camara, Barnes, Barazite, Green, Addison, Commons, Hulse, Davies, Savage, Teale, Davis, Sterjovski, Bywater.

Away goals can count tomorrow and since we didn't score at Pride Park the last thing we want is Derby scoring.

We played really badly at Pride Park and we can't play any worse so hopefully we can put in a great performance and score a few goals.
