The pessimist in me thinks it'll be a hard game as Northampton will sit back and soak up the pressure and we'll find it difficult to break them down.

Here's me 11 (4-3-3): Romero - Shaw, Blind, Smalling, Darmian - Schneiderlin/Carrick, Herrera, Pogba - Memphis, Rashford , Young.

I think Zlatan needs a rest, and even though a cup game against League 1 opposition will be appropriate to rest Pogba, I don't see it happening after 3 defeats in a row.

I want the front three to make runs beyond Northampton's defense to stretch play instead of just getting the ball to feet and recycling position and the midfield to make quick incisive passes.

Is that too much to ask for considering the money we've spent, the size of the club and the opposition we'll be playing?
