I'm a man utd fan but, This is one of the most meaningful football matches I've watched this season. An Intresting breathtaking match.

Arsenal seriously feeling the heat. Haha
Possession. Arsenal 35 : 65 Everton

Manchester United visit Aston Villa on
Sunday hoping to avoid three Premier
League losses in a row for the first
time since 2001.
Successive home defeats against
Everton and Newcastle United have
ramped up the pressure on manager
David Moyes, with last season's
Premier League champions now
without a win in four league games.
United have slipped to ninth in the
table as a result – 13 points behind leaders Arsenal – and will be
without a host of key players for their road trip.
Robin van Persie (thigh) will miss the next month, Michael Carrick
(Achilles) is still absent after surgery and fitness doubts over
Marouane Fellaini (back), Chris Smalling (hamstring), Nemanja Vidic and
Patrice Evra, who both have knocks, persist.
Moyes, who saw his side beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in the Champions
League on Tuesday, feels he has the squad depth to cover their
absence, though, as United look to extend their outstanding record
against Villa.
"I am sure we have plenty
of players who can cover
it (the injuries) and we
don't miss them too
much," Moyes said.
"We want to play well.
We've not done as well in
the league as we should
have. We want to put it
right."
Since October 1999,
United have lost just once
to Villa in 33 matches –
that defeat coming in
December 2009 when
Gabril Agbonlahor's header
gave Villa a 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
With 11 wins and six draws from their last 17 visits to Villa Park, United
have history on their side.
The match will be the 500th club appearance of Wayne Rooney's
career and he is currently on 149 Premier League goals for
Manchester United.
Without last season's top-scorer Van Persie, who scored a hat-trick
against Villa when the two sides met at Old Trafford in April, Rooney
will be asked to lead the line up front and is in good form domestically,
scoring three in as many matches.
Villa lie 11th in the table, just three points behind their opponents, but
have been poor in front of their home fans this season.
They have won just seven points at Villa Park – only Sunderland have
earned fewer at home in the Premier League – and scored just six
goals at the venue in seven matches.
Despite having just 23 per cent possession at Southampton last
week, they produced a great 3-2 win – a result that extended their
unbeaten run to five.
But a 2-0 defeat at Fulham brought Villa back down to earth and they
will be without midfield star Fabian Delph for this match due to
suspension.
Ron Vlaar (calf) is set to miss out, while Libor Kozak (ankle) and
Antonio Luna (groin) remain doubtful.
Joe Bennett (back), Charles N'Zogbia (calf) and Jores Okore (knee)
remain on Villa's injury list.

ignis: @ op, you must be very jobless for starting up this thread.

and what has that got to do with his question? I think u're the Jobless one for commenting on a thread you have no answer for the question he asked. *no offence though*
@OP, Your amount of good works on earth doesn't qualify one for heaven. It is your personal relationship with God. If Mandela failed to repent b4 his death, then he isn't different from a regular man to God

For my church, It's YES.

What's the formation used, pls?

MAN UTD WILL WIN, HIT LIKE

This is an easy group for nigeria. We should be able to defeat even Argentina. We are Leaving that group with 9 full points.
It's going to be a tough battle for Ghana. But, I don't think they can make it out of that Group.
There's going to be a bloody clash between Uruguay and England for the 2nd spot in their group after Italy.
Cameroon ain't lucky as well. Coz brazil and Mexico are the favourites of that group.
H happens to be an easy group for Algeria, but their recent football performance is below par.
All the same, it's going to be an Intresting world cup.

MAN UTD NEVER WINS A MATCH FELLAINI STARTS. Dis Moyes just dey experiment players for field. He ought to be sacked Instantly. What A disgrace. He can't even win a match against his former club, despite the 11years he spent there.

Manchester United boss David Moyes has confirmed Shinji Kagawa is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League encounter with Newcastle.

The Japan playmaker has picked up a sickness bug and was ill immediately after Wednesday night's 1-0 home defeat by Everton.

"Shinji has a sickness bug," said Moyes. "We need to see how he is on Saturday but he wasn't too good after the game."

With Wayne Rooney suspended, Moyes could do with Kagawa being available as Robin van Persie has been missing for a fortnight with groin and toe problems.

And the United boss refused to say whether the Dutchman could feature against Alan Pardew's men.

"You can ask, that doesn't mean I will answer," he said. "Like every club we have a few injuries. Some have a chance and some don't."

Everton's first victory at Old Trafford since 1992 has led to a storm of criticism being unleashed on Moyes, who attempted to brush it off as he spoke at the Aon Training Complex.

"It's football isn't it?" he said. "It can happen at any club and it has happened here. I hoped it wouldn't but it has.

"It was our first defeat in 13 games. Now I hope we can do something very similar in the coming games."

Moyes insisted the situation was not as bad as has been depicted.

Neither did he feel the performance on Wednesday warranted the kind of training ground reaction some had suggested was required.

"I think I saw a response in the game. We weren't that bad that I felt we needed a big response," said Moyes.

"People who watched the game - they would have got lots of belief from it. There were chances in the game we didn't take. It could quite easily have been very different.

"Unless you are someone who doesn't understand the game too much you would have seen that.

"These are good players. They have been here before. They know what is expected of them. They will do the right things."

Moyes insisted United would do "everything we possibly can" to haul back leaders Arsenal, who have opened up a 12-point lead on the Old Trafford outfit.

There is a widespread expectation new faces will arrive during next month's transfer window, something Moyes confirmed.

"The club has always thought about strengthening," he said. "You do that every transfer window. We will try and make that happen."

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is determined not to leave Old Trafford wondering what might have been once again as he looks to inflict further misery on Manchester United.

On Saturday lunchtime, the Magpies will run out at a stadium which represented a fortress under Sir Alex Ferguson intent on inflicting a second successive Barclays Premier League defeat on the reigning champions on their own pitch following Everton's midweek triumph.

History is not on Newcastle's side - they last won at Old Trafford in February 1972 when Pardew was a 10-year-old schoolboy - but they came desperately close to ending that run last season.

They led 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 on Boxing Day last year before Robin van Persie and, with just a minute remaining, Javier Hernandez snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and the now 52-year-old Magpies manager is hoping to go one better this time around to end a long wait.

Pardew said: "It's an incredible statistic - at least I can't be blamed for all of it. It's my third trip there and I have to say, I thought we were very close last year.

"We made a couple of errors late in the game that cost us a win there, and it's one of the really upsetting games from last year.

"I don't want that feeling walking out of there. Hopefully we can get a result."

Pardew will head for the dug-out to do battle with Moyes for the first time since his switch from Everton to United, and will do so with his club sitting two places and one point better off than their ninth-placed opponents.

Moyes is currently grappling with the unenviable task of trying to fill the shoes vacated by Ferguson with mixed results to date, and both West Brom and Everton have already won at Old Trafford this season.

However, Pardew is not convinced the aura has deserted the famous stadium.

He said: "Well, I don't know about that. It's still a very daunting place to go. There's an aura about it. It is a great stadium to go and play and be lucky enough to be the manager and take a team there.

"It's still a very, very difficult place to win and we have got to raise our game to a new level to win there. But we are capable of doing that."

Newcastle's defeat at United last season came at the start of a run of games which included a 7-3 reverse at Arsenal and an FA Cup exit at Championship Brighton which set the alarm bells ringing in earnest.

Indeed, it prompted owner Mike Ashley to invest heavily in the January transfer window as Mathieu Debuchy, Massadio Haidara, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Moussa Sissoko and Yoan Gouffran were drafted in to spark a recovery of sorts, albeit one which helped them to only just retain their top-flight status.

Of the men who started that day, only Tim Krul, Davide Santon, Mike Williamson and Fabricio Coloccini are likely to do so this time, an illustration of the change Pardew's team has undergone since.

Newcastle's winning sequence was ended at the fifth time of asking at Swansea on Wednesday evening, and while that came as a blow, the manager is hopeful of a response.

He said: "We have good confidence even with the result on Wednesday night. I don't think that will dent it too much.

"We will go there and quite fancy ourselves - but that's easier said than done."

Pardew will make a late check on striker Papiss Cisse.

The Senegal international missed Wednesday night's defeat at Swansea with a heel problem and will be assessed on Friday.

However, midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, who did not travel to the Liberty Stadium because of illness, reported for training on Thursday and is expected to be available at Old Trafford.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez insists champions Manchester United hold no fear for his players and he will not compromise his side's style at Old Trafford.

The Spaniard's brand of attacking football has brought a new lease of life to the team since he took over from David Moyes, the man in the opposing dugout on Wednesday night.

In the last couple of weeks - in particular the thrilling 3-3 Merseyside derby and the 4-0 rout of Stoke - the Toffees have been relentless in their approach.

Martinez sees no reason why they cannot take that attitude to Old Trafford, a ground where they have not won since 1992, or even to league leaders Arsenal on Saturday as they seek to end an unwanted record against the top sides.

''If we want to do something special this season we need to break that mentality of going to the big grounds and not being able to get good wins,'' he said.

''If you look at the last 10 years we have never beaten Manchester United or Arsenal or Chelsea or Liverpool at their own grounds and that for us is something we need to address.

''We need to make sure we are ourselves, we need to know exactly how we are going to play and who we are.

''It doesn't matter who you are playing against or where you are playing you need to be able to perform with great standards and that is a fantastic test and challenge to have on Wednesday.

''We have only had one defeat (at Manchester City) this season and that has given us a great confidence and a great understanding of how we need to approach every game.

''When we went to the Etihad we were ourselves for 70 minutes and that is no way good enough to get a positive result.

''We need to learn from that but we are excited to go to Old Trafford and pay them the respect they deserve as they are champions.

''I do feel the game at Old Trafford is as big a test as we are going to get but after 13 games in the league I feel we are ready for that.

''That's our aim. I don't know how long it's going to take us but if we want to be successful over the course of the season we should be able to go anywhere and be ourselves.

''Will that happen overnight, will that happen in five months? We will have to wait and see.

''But I think the success of a team over the course of a season is measured when you can be yourself wherever you go and whoever you face.''

Everton have no new injury worries ahead of the clash and they could face former midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

Phil Jones is suspended for Wednesday's encounter and with Michael Carrick (Achilles) ruled out, Fellaini is the obvious replacement.

Robin van Persie has ''a chance'' of recovering from a combination of groin and toe problems.

''He (Van Persie) is doing okay,'' said manager David Moyes, who comes up against his former side for the first time.

Fellaini has yet to impress his new club's supporters and is still to score, despite hitting the net on a regular basis at Everton.

But Moyes is not concerned, adding: ''It is the same settling-in process that most Manchester United players go through.

''I don't think it is just Marouane or David Moyes. It is players joining this club.

''Obviously there will be players who hit the ground running and can go right in but there will be others who take a little bit of time.

''There have been quite a few of those here.''

Moyes can certainly do without dropping more points after successive draws at Cardiff and Tottenham. Yet, for all the scrutiny on him, the Scot would not wish to be anywhere else.

''I knew the enormity of the job at Manchester United. It hasn't changed for me at all,'' he said.

''It is the biggest job and for me personally it is a great challenge.''
