Norwich vs Manchester United
Kick off: Saturday, 17th November 2012
Venue: Carrow Road
After another fantastic come-back last weekend against Aston Villa, United still find themselves sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table. They could be third by the time they kick off against Norwich, with Chelsea and Man City playing at 3pm. If their rivals both manage to win, the pressure will certainly be on to return to the summit of the table.
United Line Up Predictions
Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney missed their respective International friendlies in midweek, but many expect them to return to feature in the starting lineup for the trip to Norwich. After his super-sub heroics against Villa, Sir Alex has revealed that Javier Hernandez will also start on Saturday. Should Van Persie and Rooney be fit to play, it will be interesting to see how Fergie incorporates them into the starting XI. The two options that seem available to the manager appear to be to implement the "diamond" formation, with Rooney behind both Hernandez and Van Persie, or to play Rooney from the left wing. Either way, it should provide plenty of attacking intent from the United players. Also, expect Evans to reclaim his place alongside Rio Ferdinand if he has recovered from injury.

Match Result Prediction
Norwich 1 - 3 United
With the United defence still looking shaky, but their attackers looking lethal, I expect another high scoring United win. Expect the Norwich strikers to test the United defence on home soil, with Van Persie, Rooney and Hernandez securing the win in the end.
