What i think might happen is we start with
but have pique and neville on the bench. Perhaps Rio will be given some injections if its that bad. I also wouldnt be surprised if brown doesnt start because he really was shit.
You dont want to risk rio ahead of the next few EPL games but you also dont want to leave him off the pitch if you can help it. He was one of the most important players last week and losing him will be a much greater loss than losing vida. Rio read the game so well and made some excellent interceptions, im not sure if pique can do that (ive not seen enough of him) and i know oshea isnt great at CB either.
United need rio ahead of this match or else the 2 goal advantage might not be enough.
