I'd like to think fergie will send out the reserves, but he won't make that mistake. His selection on Sunday showed he wants the league and Champions League and he won't rest players for the next game and then not play them in the next game. They've looked a bit nervous in their past few Premiership games, I can see fergie trying to put a three point buffer between us to avoid that. We can but hope Sunday has done psychological damage

But Pompey could cause a surprise, Crouch's record for us against the mancs was poor, but he has come up with some shocks like the hat-trick against Arsenal

Crouch (in his Liverpool days)

vs Man Utd : 1 goal in 6 appearances, 290 mins.
vs Arsenal : 4 goals in 7 appearances, 547 mins.
vs Chelsea : 1 goal in 13 appearances, 901 mins

vs 'big four' : 6 goals in 26 appearances, 1738 mins.
(0.231 goals/app, 290 mins/goal, 67 mins/app)

His hat-trick aside he scored three goals in 25 appearances for us against the 'big four'. He's playing for a struggling pompey side, but let's hope he has one of those games he does every now and then. Personally I think it will be one of those nights where the mancs score early and never look in much danger

Man utd will be at full strength tonight. Plus Ferdiand and Vidic are back in the squad so it is a big ask.

A miracle would be nice tonight.

Its not enough now for Man U to draw. Hopefully the Gods can do us a favour tonight

Im not expecting anything to happen tonight. I think Boro or Spurs is where they will drop points next. It would be a miricle though if they could pull of a result.

Utd will win tonight. The odds are very much against Peter Crouch scoring and doing us a favor. He's an average striker at best. Always has been and Portsmouth just don't look that good against the "top 4". They've lost every time this year, bar a draw in the Charity Shield (against Utd).

Portsmouth have lost 13 games, drawn 10 and won only 9 this year.

I think we may have to look elsewhere for a dent in Utd's run in. The best bet is City and Arsenal.

Maybe Hull can pull out one more miracle, like they did against Arsenal in September.

Man U do have some tricky games Bav, tonight is the only one I'd say i'm 99% sure they will win

Me mate sent me this, not sure where he got it from but it makes interesting reading.

2003-04: WLWLLDW - 11 POINTS DROPPED

2004-05: LLWWDLW - 11 POINTS DROPPED

2005-06: WWDWLDW - 7 POINTS DROPPED

2006-07: LWDWWDL - 9 POINTS DROPPED

2007-08: WDWDLWW - 7 POINTS DROPPED

Thats uniteds points dropped in the last games over the last few seasons.
Granted they may not have been under as much pressure to win these games but still - you never know.
