Yeah there is Champions League on every other week (and platini wants to rob us of that aswell) but a lot of groups are decided by matchday 4, and man united barely fielded a full strength team once in that competition so far this year.
So the premiership on a Tuesday is a refreshing change: Every game counts, everyone is going out for the win and at times it seems; the players just perform better under lights.
United at Old Trafford can't lose, well they can't afford to, after losing again on Saturday. Ferguson always says: its not about the defeat its how you follow it up. And after the reserves knocked McCarthy's team out of the Carling cup with only 10 men earlier this year I'd expect united, even without The great number 11 to win comfortably.
I've a suspicion that Wayne Rooney might just be rested, but he'll be on the bench, just in case.
Sunderland at home to Villa looks like a cracking game as the managers i would choose to replace SirAlex go head to head. the excellent Stephen Warnock is villa's only injury doubt as the most exciting team in England look to build on their top four killing spree.
Kenwyne Jones should be fit to lead the line and Phil Bardsley should slot into fullback as the wearsiders look to get out of the slump which has seen them win only twice in the last eight games.
Bolton against west ham as got 0-0 draw written all over it. Well it would if the trotters weren't allergic to clean sheets. Mark Noble is suspended for the irons and they're having real trouble scoring goals, Kieron Dyer will probably start after making his 102nd injury comeback at the weekend. Gianfranco Zola has only 17 players to choose from the the trip north.
Travelling south are Blackburn rovers, they visit a buoyant Birmingham City looking to extend their seven game unbeaten run and big eck can name an unchanged team.
Rovers will still be without the creative powers of David Dunn and without him sam allardyce will be lucky to escape the 2nd city with a point.
Can't Wait!
