Manchester United vs Newcastle

The pick of the 3rd Round Capital One Cup ties sees an all-Premier League match between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils last won the trophy in 2010, while Alan Pardew’s Magpies are looking to win the League Cup for the first time.

Let's start with the teams...

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 5:54:48 PM
Man United look pretty strong: De Gea, Vermijl, M Keane, Wootton, Buttner, Fletcher, Cleverley, Anderson, Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 5:54:57 PM
While Newcastle welcome back Coloccini and Tiote as expected: Elliot; Perch, Williamson, Coloccini (c), Tavernier; Obertan, Tiote, Gosling, Marveaux; Vuckic; Shola Ameobi

We will be joined by @TheBusbyWay @RFFH @StrettyNews @Red_Rants @NowtButNewc @NUFCFans @KevinDoocey @toonarmyblog and @helloIamBesty

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:00:50 PM
Definitely a mixed bag in terms of selection for both #mufc and #nufc for this #CapitalOneCup game.

by toonarmyblog 9/26/2012 6:02:30 PM
@toonarmyblog Man United look strong in attack, but maybe weak at the back. Could be a long night for Newcastle...

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:03:11 PM
#lfc: Jones; Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Robinson; Henderson, Sahin, Downing; Pacheco, Yesil, Assaidi

@Football FanCast Yeah couple in there that I haven't even heard of in Vermijl and Wooton but that front 3 worries me. Glad Coloccini and Tiote are back though, that should help defensively.

by toonarmyblog 9/26/2012 6:06:20 PM
Both my plans for tonight are no more, so looks like I'll just be sitting at home watching Man U vs Newcastle. #CapitalOneCup.

@StrettyNews 2-1 #mufc #capitalonecup

by jordifarren19 via twitter 9/26/2012 6:10:06 PM
Yeah....Rooney starts tonight #capitalonecup

by vineetmufc via twitter 9/26/2012 6:10:15 PM
Slightly disappointed with the Toon team. Would have been nice to see Cisse or Ben Arfa on the pitch. MUFC will make it an occasion with Rooney and Fletcher back.

by NUFCfans.co.uk 9/26/2012 6:10:29 PM
newcastle fans aint happy with pardews team selection! #CapitalOneCup #SortItOutLad

by MoleJoshua via twitter 9/26/2012 6:10:54 PM
Front 3 Rooney Welbeck Hernandez though, strong #MUFC #CapitalOneCup

by LyriczOfficial via twitter 9/26/2012 6:11:09 PM
Looks like Newcastle fans aren't happy and you can't blame them!

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:11:29 PM
If Jerome Sinclair comes on, at 16 years 6 days he'll be #lfc's youngest ever player, beating Jack Robinson's 16 years 250 days

by Henry Winter via twitter 9/26/2012 6:12:04 PM
@NUFCfans.co.uk Can understand maybe not risking HBA in this one but I think Cisse had to play tonight - needs games and a goal.

by toonarmyblog 9/26/2012 6:12:22 PM
Rooney starts for the first time since picking up a gash on his thigh in the 3-2 win over Fulham. Fletcher made captain. #CapitalOneCup

by StrettyNews via twitter 9/26/2012 6:13:33 PM
Newcastle have not beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford since a 2-0 league win in February 1972... can they end that record tonight??

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:13:35 PM
@toonarmyblog Agree with you - won't get a goal sitting on the bench. Our full backs look weak too - Perch and Tavernier. Not so sure.

by NUFCfans.co.uk 9/26/2012 6:14:18 PM
Rooney starts for Man Utd, I was hoping Powell was going to start too but he's on the bench. #mufc #nufc #capitalonecup

by SamShepherd95 via twitter 9/26/2012 6:15:24 PM
#wbafc: Foster; Jones, Tamas, Olsson, Ridgewell; Thorne, Mulumbu; Fortune, Dorrans, Rosenberg; Lukaku.

by Henry Winter via twitter 9/26/2012 6:15:29 PM
So we have the kids in defence and the big boys upfront, it could be some goals in this game. Fletcher captain tonight! #MUFC #CapitalOneCup

by manutdswede via twitter 9/26/2012 6:15:34 PM
@NUFCfans.co.uk Definitely a mixed bag although some of them definitely have a point to prove that can sometimes bring a performance out of players.

by toonarmyblog 9/26/2012 6:18:34 PM
Seems to be alot of negativity from Newcastle fans about the selection tonight...anything is possible in cup football

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:18:50 PM
#Rooney and #Fletcher start!.. #Boom #MUFC #CapitalOneCup

by Vijay_908 via twitter 9/26/2012 6:19:06 PM
#mufc Lopsided top heavy team weak defence and a front 6 as strong as it comes for the #CapitalOneCup

by suave_redevil via twitter 9/26/2012 6:19:08 PM
Newcastle not looking as strong as I expected after listening to Pardew yesterday, still fancy the game has goals in it though

by Red_Rants 9/26/2012 6:19:28 PM
As for United it's great to see Wooton get his deserved chance and to see Rooney's fit enough to make the bench

by Red_Rants 9/26/2012 6:21:41 PM
Gabriel Obertan is the man. Fergie never lets a good player leave. It's time Gabby proved he's made a rare mistake. Not done it for us, yet.

by NUFCfans.co.uk 9/26/2012 6:22:07 PM
C'mon the toon!!! #Capitalonecup

Doing a bit of live blogging tonight - just use the hashtag #CapitalOneCup to join me and get involved! #mufc

by Manchester United via twitter 9/26/2012 6:25:13 PM
Looks like SAF's gone for a narrow 4-3-3 with the pace of Vermijl and Buttner on the wings

by Red_Rants 9/26/2012 6:29:01 PM
@Red_Rants Confident of win today given the line-ups?

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:30:11 PM
Lets have your predictions for tonight in the Poll above..

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:32:26 PM
Newcastle haven't won at Old Trafford in 40 years. #capitalonecup

by StrettyNews edited by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:32:34 PM
David de Gea needs to show a great deal of leadership tonight with a back four flooded with inexperience - Vermijl, M Keane, Wootton, Buttner.

by StrettyNews 9/26/2012 6:35:20 PM
Honestly thought @NPowell25 would of been playing tonight #ManchesterUnited #CapitalOneCup

by AntEvans88 via twitter 9/26/2012 6:36:15 PM
man utd start welbeck, hernandez and rooney, defense better be on form #capitalonecup

by P_Hornsby via twitter 9/26/2012 6:36:19 PM
10 minutes until the main event guys - any predicitions on the score tonight? #CapitalOneCup

by Football FanCast 9/26/2012 6:37:14 PM
Tiote is certainly a player to watch. Impressed me home and away last season.

by StrettyNews 9/26/2012 6:37:36 PM
Cisse doesn't need to be risked, at the start of the season we were saying that these games are ones for the youngsters! What's changed?

by CaptainCollo 9/26/2012 6:37:42 PM
@Martin Crawford 2-1 to #nufc, Shola first goal!
