However, we have shown fight and grit reminiscent of Man United to scrape wins in our last 3 games. Something that's been missing from this Club for a long, long time.
Another reason to be optimistic, is the fact that Vidic and Ferdinand don't cope too well with pace. (Vidic still has nightmares about the consistent Torres rapings). Enter Daniel Sturridge. I believe he can wreck havoc amongst the United back 4.
Ultimately though, I think the loss of King Kolo is too much of a blow and as a result, I am going to predict a very ambitious draw.
