Jagielka, Warnock, Wheater, Ashton, Hart & Huddlestone all included. No Lescott as he's having strengthening injections in his knee apparently

Jenas & Huddlestone but no Carrick?

The best 3 keepers included for a long time though imo.

If it were up to me i'd give Joe Hart his first start. I cannot stand David James.

I can't believe Carrick's been left out Been playing regularly for Man utd recently and is surely good enough for a place.

Good to see Dean Ashton get another go!

Not too bad a squad, actually, and quite a few players in there genuinely on merit!
