firstly, i'll have Hargreaves as my defensive mid so that gets him off that list. Since he didn'tplay a full game on sunday, i think he'll be availabe. For me it's Neville, Pique, Brown and Evra. I've thought long and hard about whether i'd risk putting Neville into a line-up like this and while I'd probably take him off sooner rather than later, that backline needs experience and John O'Shea doesn't inspire. While neither of them are particularly quick, at least Gazza knows how use his experience to counter faster players. I have little doubt that he'll have to be taken out early in the game since I doubt he can go full on for 90 minutes. In that case O'shea can slot into the leftback spot.

The problem with this formation is that I want to give cover to my right back and to do that i need another player other than Ronaldo in the position. I'd love to have park and Ronaldo as my wings. If I see Gazza getting exposed, I'd switch them and have park start coming back to protect.

The question now is, whether I go with a three man midfield. I think it is necessary to throw Anderson in there with Scholes and Carrick. I'd normally give this as a job to Hargreaves, but I think I might need his flexibility in the right back spot, or if Evra gets injured I might need to throw O'shea in the left back spot and have Hargo come in for Neville.
