4) Joe Allen vs Juan Mata
The little Welshman has been in inspired form over the last month, and was excellent again last time out – playing a major role in our 1-0 victory over his former club, Swansea City. He could well find himself up against a resurgent Juan Mata, who despite playing a bit-part role in the United team since the turn of the year, impressed in their win over Tottenham last weekend. If we can stop the Spaniard, we’ll stop the supply to their forwards.
