Braga vs United
Okay, okay that’s the last time I’ll use the KA-POWELL picture as the header for one of these prediction posts – unless he does actually score, of course. Then I guess that buys me at least another five posts, right?! Good.
Got a feeling Nick Powell will play – after making the bench against Arsenal – and have a really strong feeling he will score (just remember I’m the one who predicted a repeat of the 8-2). Fletcher won’t be the thing to build the midfield on and so I think we’ll definitely play three in there … one of the other two being Anderson (who’s looking #deeeeccceeeennntttt as Rio might have perhaps once said, maybe). Why I’m predicting line-ups escapes me. We will be resting players, that’s for sure (with that in mind: was surprised to see Will Keane go out on loan this week). Danny to start and bust the onion bag with a couple of beauties – cus I said so.
Braga showed at OT what they’re capable of and I expect more of the same. Would be nice to really start turning the screw (or whatever clever people say) in this competition, but can’t see it with the group all but sewn up.
(Hopefully, Fletcher not joining the squad is because he’s going to be involved against Villa, and not the other.)
Prediction: 2-3
Goals: Powell, Welbeck 2
