It would surprise me if United failed to respond to their Carling Cup defeat. SAF will demand a performance and it’s impossible to see anything other than Saha, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs and Van der Saar all back in the starting X1.
Blackburn did the double over United last season, incredibly putting 4 goals past United in the same fixture last season. And although United got a measure of revenge by knocking Blackburn out of the Carling Cup last season, the two defeats in the premiership still remain sore points.
Blackburn last won in the Premiership on the 1st October. Since that win over Wigan they have lost to Bolton, drawn with Liverpool, lost to West Ham and Aston Villa despite winning in Europe. With a number of injuries Mark Hughes appears to be facing the problem of getting results domestically when the lure of Europe is around his dressing room.
The key to United getting all 3 points will come from Carrick and Scholes pulling the strings in the middle. I have a strange feeling Carrick may just score too….
Probable team: Van der Saar, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney, Saha
Subs: Kuszczak, Fletcher, Smith, Heinze, Brown, Silvestre, Richardson, D Jones
Prediction: 0-2 (Saha, Carrick)
