After getting comfortably through the third round stage, Uniteds youngsters have another home tie, in the fourth round. And against very tough opposition too. The too sides won't face eachother in the league this season, but past battles have provided some tough games. United had their game away to Stoke City postponed on Saturday, due to a frozen pitch. Derby also had their game at Newcastle postponed. Both sides go into this game on te back of draws, the rams drew their first game of the new year 0-0. While United were held 3-3 at Carrington.
Big game on Wednesday and It will be the first time this year I've got to see our future prospects. Derby any good? I jnow they beat Arsenal but they are only a small club Anyone know of any team news? Who should I be watching out for? My old man was telling me about Barmby and he's a real gem Red4Ever
United: Jacob, Love, Blackett, Joannou, McCullough, Ekangamene, Daelhi, Hendrie, Van Velzen, Januzaj, Barmby
That's the Wilson who was badly injured a few months ago? I'm surprised to see Ioannou start. I like the look of the team.
Barmby Daehli Januzaj van Velzen Ekangamene Hendrie Blackett Ioannou McCullough Love Jacob I think we'll probably line up like that.
A lack of quality from both sides so far. It's been a very sloppy game, the high tempo is the reason for that.
United lucky to get away without conversing a penalty. Given a free kick right on the edge of the box.
