Well obviously it's a massive massive game for us (aren't they all these days?). Fail to win here, and we would then probably have to beat the Mancs the following week to remain in any sort of contention. Win at Sunderland and a draw at Home to the Mancs wouldn't be a wrist slasher, draw there and we are needing snookers. I really do believe that if we lose there beating the Mancs may be more about kicking them in the b0llocks and making ourselves feel better than it is about putting us back in the title race.
The absolute key is obviously how we handle Darren bent and Kenwyn Jones if they play with both up top, and I think they will. Defend properly and snuff those two out and we should be able to win, but if we don't we could be bang up against it. I would definately play Gerrard in central midfield, as Cattermole will eat Lucas for breakfast IMHO if we decide to play him.
Select sensibly and play properly and I fancy us to get home 2-1, with inevitably Darren Bent scoring their goal.
