MANCHESTER UNITED:
Lineup: Lindegaard – Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra – Carrick, Anderson – Januzaj, Welbeck, Valencia – Hernandez
Injuries / suspensions: Rooney (doubtful), Fellaini, van Persie, Rafael, Nani, Ferdinand, Young, Jones, Fabio
Key stat: United lost their last 2 games (all competitions) with the same 1-2 scoreline
BETDISTRICT PREDICTION: Moyes will field almost the best first 11 he has at his disposal, but he is basically forced to do so by all the injuries United has. Sunderland is playing better and better recently and should put up a decent fight, but all in all Manchester United to win a tight game seems like the most probable betting option. When these two met earlier this season at the same venue it was 1-2, and the result could happen again. Sunderland – Manchester United 1-2.
