Blackburn v Man U

On any view Blackburn are overpriced @ 4.33 and to me the only debate is the size of the stake.

They are in good form and a trophy beckons as well as a route into Europe.

I have learnt (the hard way) not to trust the hints that SAF gives out before a match about his team selection. The noises coming out of OT suggest that it may not be a full strength United because he has one eye on the Manchester derby which has an early kick off on Saturday. Maybe his big guns are more likely to start on the bench in case they are needed.

Trouble here is that Blackburn are far superior to Birmingham who they played in the last round when United also fielded a team which left out a few of the bigger names

I get the impression that MU will be looking for a European type 0-0 display tomorrow with the idea of winning it in the return leg on home soil (dangerous)
