Team news according the reliable IAMYAK on Bluekipper:

----------------------Howard-------------------------

Neville----------Yobo----------Jagielka----------Lescott

Arteta---------Castillo----------Fellaini-----------Osman

---------------Vaughan---------Saha------------------

He's been right the last 4/5 times to be honest, looks a decent team to me. It's good to see Vaughan and Saha upfront.

Would have rather seen Nash have a go but I thought I read somewhere that he was hurt.

With the exception of Cahill and Yakubu thats pretty much a first choice team.

If its right then hopefully it means Arteta is fully fit and isn't being risked.

Moyesie should be resting Arteta for Saturday, imo.

 

[Vim Fuego]

Very surprised to see Arteta's inclusion.

 

[bozzen]

I am a little bit dissapointed that Baines nor playing, or Valente. And i would have liked to see Rodwell in a starting line up. But it is a strong team, definitely. Looks like he would like us to win tonight. No "B-players" in line-up, Moyes take it serious.

 

[TX Bill]

I'm a bit surprised to see Lescott as well.

This would have been a good match for Baines or Valente to play in.

(Beat me to it Bozzen...)

 

[TsarDiniyar]

why not nash?

Maybe he decided to give Baines a try on Sunday and didn't like what he saw so thinks that its best to try and keep a regular settled defence which will grow in confidence and finally start performing like it can.

And a good performance tonight from the boys will do wonders for the 2 big games coming up.

 

[Big Dunc The Funk]

If that is the team for tonight then it just goes to show that Moyes is not treating the Carling Cup as a mickey mouse competition.

If the worst happens next thursday then the Carling Cup could be a blessing in disguse and a way into Europe if it goes wrong in the league.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

why not nash?

Played for Wigan in an earlier round so presumably is cup tied.

Surprised Baines, Rodwell arent in that team, i thought he would rest either ossie or arteta.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Rodwell starts supposedly, the lad got it wrong for once. Might have been a late decision on Arteta.

 

[Nebbiolo]

Surprised Baines, Rodwell arent in that team, i thought he would rest either ossie or arteta.

Seeing as Ossie is supposedly nursing an injury, I would have thought he would have been rested.

Obviously i want us to win this, but it is still only the League Cup. The UEFA and then the FA cups are my priority.

It's Rodwell, Castillo, Fellaini and Osman. Not sure how that's going to work to be honest, 4-3-1-2 maybe?

On Ossie, he plays through any injuries. He fecking hard mate.
