Manchester United: Midfielder Paul Pogba is set to make his full debut for Manchester United in Wednesday night's Carling Cup quarter-final with Crystal Palace. Fellow youngsters Ezekiel Fryers, Ravel Morrison, Michael Keane and Ben Amos have all been involved in United's run to the last eight and will hope to be handed another chance to impress manager Alex Ferguson. United will also have plenty of first-team experience at their disposal, including Brazilian full-back Rafael who is in line to make his first appearance of the season after a shoulder injury.

Crystal Palace: Manager Dougie Freedman faces a selection quandary ahead of Crystal Palace's Carling Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford. The tie will be the first of two matches in the space of 48 hours for the London club, who host Derby in the Championship on Friday night. Freedman admits there is no way he can play the same side with the games so close together, and the Scot expects to fully utilise his squad. The likes of goalkeeper Lewis Price, defender David Wright, midfielders Jonathan Parr, Darren Ambrose and Kagisho Dikgacoi and strikers Jermaine Easter and Steffen Iversen are available for recalls."

Utd to win with a deflected penalty and get drawn at home to Cardiff (Cardiff having played a Championship game away to Charlton 24 hours earlier without any recognised strikers)

I'm not having a go or attacking anyone. Just making a funny and/or pointless remark in my post like the first reply to this thread.

Charlton are in league one

mike65 · 30-11-2011 3:56pm

Damn! I guess Charlton should (will) be in the Championship anyway that won't stop this conspiracy.

what do you expect. you have set the tone for the match thread with your second post spouting bs

GavRedKing · 30-11-2011 4:03pm

4-0 to Crystal Palace.

Nalz · 30-11-2011 4:08pm

Shame if Pogba doesnt sign a contract. When is Tom Clev back? Hope Gibson doesnt start.

Should go for something like this:

Amos

-Rafael--Fryers--Evans--Fabio-

-Valenica-Pogba-Fletcher-Park-

Macheda--Berbatov

LostBoy101 · 30-11-2011 4:17pm

I'm sure Pogba will stay with us as Ferguson knows how to deal with him better than anyone could.

Schism · 30-11-2011 4:40pm

Hope to see Rafael on the pitch and having a good game. Odds on that Morrison will get a run out for 20 minutes or so too.

Cleverly's out until the new year Trilla, iirc.

Gibson has no future at the club. The only reason I can think he is playing is to try and keep his market value some way decent.

Still can't believe he wouldn't leave in the summer.

Totally fúcking uninspiring selection

Raskolnikov · 30-11-2011 7:10pm

Is Michael Keane still declaring for Ireland, or what?

My thoughts exactly, I was really excited to maybe see Pogba and/or Morrison start.

The only thing I'm happy about there is Rafa and Fabio starting together, and maybe Diouf but that's it.
