DeGea is a guarantee. While his loss of focus against Leverkusen may have helped the latter to earn a consolation goal, rest assure the the young spaniard will be ready to make up for it on Sunday.
The defense is pretty straightforward. The only real question is who will be in at right back. Rafael and Jones are supposedly back in training this week. However, Moyes may still choose to go with Fabio as he rested him last night against the Germans. His performance against Palace was noteworthy and he could get the nod.
There is a slight chance Moyes could play Smalling or Evans in the place of Rio because the United veteran has already played 2 matches this week. But it seems more likely that Moyes will want to keep the Ferdinand - Vidic partnership against the blues and rest Rio the week after.
The obvious choices for the two center midfield spots are Carrick and Felaini and the reasons are obvious. Both looked strong on Tuesday night
Valencia showed glimpses of his old form against Leverkusen on Tuesday which will have United fans hoping he will have run of good form. The other choice might be Nani, although the Portugeese winger has not gotten must playing time under the Scottsman.
Rooney will stay as the #10 and hopeful continue his wonderful form from the last two matches. I have decided to go with Shinji on the left. This is not for certain. But, fingers crossed, Moyes goes with the Japanese playmaker instead of Ashley Young, Kagawa provides a much needed creative spark whether on the left or through the middle. Finally, RVP will of course be in the striker role up top.
The Reds have a great shot of going out and grabbing 3 points. But the Ethiad is not an easy place to play at and it will be a tough match. Lets hope the continue on their current form!
