Yanited will surely win.

Liverpool to get thrashed by spurs. I think lamela will have a great game. Will ballotelli start?

Another interesting looking set of fixtures before the miserable international break.

All eyes on LVG as United surely can't slip up here. This is probably the easiest away fixture of the season and even The Chosen One would register a win there. A 60 million Angel has been sent from above to help them out but their defence remains laughable - Burnley have looked pretty abject so far though so United simply HAVE to win.

Will Newcastle score a goal? One of these days they just might.

Chelsea have their first real test and are without Costa so it will be interesting to see how Drogba does assuming that's what Mourinho will do - Schurrle can also play in that role but he's an injury doubt. Everton might start with Eto'o as Lukaku remains a doubt as well. Plenty of interest in this one.

Everyone will want to see Balotelli on Sunday but I want to see him start purely for football reasons - we looked toothless up front vs City, Balotelli should provide a bit more firepower for us.

Rodgers just had his press conference and said Johnson will be out, Skrtel and Moreno to be assessed, Lallana in the squad and Balotelli been exceptional in training so I imagine he will start.

Manquillo
Sakho
Lovren
Moreno

Henderson
Gerrard
Coutinho

Balotelli

that defence looks rather raw.

Scoring goals hopefully.

Yup. It will take time to get settled but Sakho has a good chance to establish himself if Skrtel is indeed absent. Moreno needs games to get used to this league. Flanagan is nearly on the mend so should come in at right back soon.

We are definitely going to concede against Spuds, it's just whether our attack can compensate for that.

: #mufc starting XI: De Gea, Jones, Evans, Blackett, Valencia, Young, Fletcher, Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, van Persie.

The most expensive squad in Europe

Looks like Di Maria starts alongside Fletcher as CM.

That attack should blow Burnley away today.

United look like sh!t

Good lord United are bad. Possibly even worse than Moysey.

12:48
HITS THE WOODWORK Burnley 0-0 Manchester United

So close! The oafish Phil Jones gives away a silly free-kick on the edge of the area and former United midfielder Dave Jones curls the set-piece against the crossbar!

David De Gea never even saw it!

"oafish"... BBC not holding back!

Dumpster fire

Mata with a great opportunity kicks his own leg and falls over.

Blackett looks bad

Fletcher steps on the ball and falls over, lol.

Absolutely nothing in midfield for United. Van Persie needs to be dropped - looks well off it.

0-0 HT

United had 58% of possession in the 1 st half, and only 1 shot.

Di Maria injured.Looks like he can walk it off though.

Anderson coming on for Di Maria

Anderson on for 60 million man.

De Gea lol

Holy crap Evans

They are absolutely dreadful

Gone by Christmas

I think it will be a midfield diamond with Balotelli and Sturridge upfront. I think everyone wants to watch this game, I will be watching this with a couple of Milan fans...
