Definitely have our strongest team playing, I would like to see Ji starting, but it will probably be Giggs and Ronnie on the wings. Hopefully Tevez puts one in on his old team.

Huge, huge game. Totally agree with sentiments about starting our strongest available side and changing it around for Birmingham. Hopefully we'll be ready for this after the way they mugged us last year. I think Hargreaves will be vital for us if he's fit. 2-1 Utd, with Carlos to score.

"We're taking a big squad down tomorrow for the game with West Ham," Sir Alex told his pre-match press conference. "We're taking 20 players down, keeping them all together because you never know at this time of year.
"Utilising the squad is important. We freshened up the other day by leaving Ryan, Tevez and Anderson out (against Sunderland). Tomorrow we'll make some more changes. Hopefully that brings the right freshness and gets us the right result.
"The confidence as a team is good, the form is good so we're going into the game in the right frame of mind. It's never easy at West Ham, of course. They beat us twice last season so we expect a tough game but in the form we're in we're looking forward to it."
Owen Hargreaves will be among the travelling party for Saturday's match, but goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has not recovered in time to feature.
"Edwin is not fit for tomorrow, he's still out but Tomasz is doing very well," Sir Alex revealed. "He starts training tomorrow and he could be back for Birmingham."

There is no way Fergie will rest Rooney and Ronaldo. He'll play the strongest team possible. Prediction: 1-1 tough game I think that Fergie will probably play his strongest team available. I agree with you that this will be a tough game, but i feel that we will have the edge over them for primarily two reasons: firstly, i think that the team will be motivated big time, for this game after what happened in the two Premiership games versus the Hammers last season when they did the double over us. And secondly, the way that United are playing at the moment, we look like we are going to score the majority of the time we go forward. I think we'll win this 2-0.

Sorry about the lack of logo's guys! Obviously, not up to Manc Fevers usual standard!! I won't bother in the future as my team selection was ripped to shreds!!! Dont be apologetic for the logos mate...its alrt And do post your team selection...its better to have it been torn to threads than never have selected your team. The fact that you selected one shows your deep interest and following of the events in the team. This will be a game to watch...c'mon Parkyyyyyy!!!

I really hope we don't underestimate West Ham, they've had some good results against us in the past. That said Fergie knows how hard a match they can give us and will probably be playing a strong side. Was supposed to go to this match but can't cos of family reasons, gutted Come on you reeeeeeeeds.

Games like these are all about concentration when you go to places like upton park there fans are pretty damn good we have to silence them and QUICKLY get into our groove because that is the only thing that fails us away from home im confident, granted we do this, that we will win the game and btw.....we MUST play tevez **** My mate has just got me a ticket for the game ;D *****

Is Fergie going to drop Saha, after he scored twice in the last game though?
