Manchester United v Portsmouth: Preview

Manchester United will face the weakest team of Premier League on Saturday at Old Trafford with a great chance of going on top of the table.

The confidence level of the United players is sky high after the win over Arsenal last Sunday. On the other hand Portsmouth is struggling and was forced to sell their top player to sustain in the league financially. So it is expected to be a one sided game in favor of the Red Devils.

Team News
Manchester United
Rio Ferdinand will remain suspend and miss this tie. Hargreaves and O Shea will remain out due to their injuries. Vidic may come back to join Evans or Brown at the center back position. Sir Alex should go with the same combination in the mid field and upfront that played against Arsenal.

Portsmouth
Diop and Hreidarsson will miss this tie.

Manchester United must go for a kill in this game because it is a scoring game for United and this will help them to improve their goal difference.
