Manchester United will have a very nervous and inexperienced defensive as they take on the Hammers tomorrow at 3. Smalling, Jones and Evans are all out injured and Blackett is suspended. This could mean LVG calling on either the very unfit Michael Carrick or the youth system. Im going to stay the youth system, Carrick only started training again on Tuesday and Played 45 mins for the U21s. The most likeliest to play is 19yr old Paddy McNair, or he could call on 22yr old Tom Thorpe. Until Valencia was injured this morning it looked like Rafael could play at centre back and Valencia at right back, if anything Valencia will be on the bench. LVG will keep the same 3 in the heart of his midfield and is likely to bring Mata in for Falcao after the latter had a very poor game against Leicester. Meanwhile Big Sam could play a similar team to the one that beat Liverpool, Cheikhou Kouyaté is injured and will miss out, and as West. Ham are already with out Nolan it could mean last weeks sub scorer Amalfitano could come in and they change formation. Mauro Zarate is also likely to come in for Stewart Downing as West Ham will look to take all opportunities in the box. However I think that Demel and Tomkins will keep there places in defence despite Collins and Jenkinson now both fully fit.
