No chance that Fellaini will feature this weekend but I think Gibson and Hibbert will be in the squad at the weekend, they won't start though. So Coleman at RB, hopefully Jagielka and Distin at CB, Baines and Pienaar of course. Probably Neville and Osman in CM, but whether Moyes will play Mirallas on the right or behind Jelavic will be an interesting dichotomy. Or maybe Anichebe behind Jelavic or 4-4-2 for a change. And Naismith needs a chance also as he hasn't really had a chance yet, so we could see him behind Jelavic with Mirallas on the right.

Mirallas was our most advances player in attack last game with Jelavic picking up most of out 'predictable' long balls, obviously losing Fellaini is a big loss but I'm more worried about keeping the ball this game. They have a strong midfield, Granero looks like their best player at the moment and could cause a problem, so I am concerned about the middle of the park.

This could be a weird game as we will be full strength next week, so I think it could go either way, their defense is shockingly poor (Fabio is out also) but they have good individuals who have moments of brilliant quality i.e Tarrabt.
I still think we have a tonne of quality especially on the left, games like this are when we will depend pretty much on those two to create our chances and Jelavic has to play supremely well with Fellaini out.
 
Can't see Fellaini being risked in this game even if they think he's fit enough. Hopefully a chance for Naismith to prove his worth to the squad.

Gibbo may make the bench to get a run out towards the end.
 
I heard that he wants to be fit for the derby
