How is the Preston NE’s grounds like? If the pitch is decent, it should not be an issue.

It was about time that we get a draw like this. I actually was expecting that we get Arsenal…again.

Meh. West Ham will suddenly suffer a mysterious outbreak of gastroenteritis on the morning of the match amongst their first team squad and have to field their under 18s.

I’m hoping they at least make city work for it and tire out some of their first team. That will do me.

Is it just me or has Jadon Sancho been underwhelming so far? The way the journos were bigging him up, he was supposedly gonna rip teams apart single handedly
That explains it, United actually have signed Jason Sancho.

Most difficult draw that City have had in the past 5 years.
Decent draw for us, good enough draw so that we can help give the kids some more experience.

Good draw, what was the last time we played there officially, 08/09 in the FA Cup?
Smells like a trophy… 
Is this draw random or seeded like tennis draw.
Suspiciously the big guns are all kept apart.
Pep will be asking for a redraw.
I bet he spends the next 4 weeks moaning about their lack of luck in draws
Anyhow decent draw for us, nice ground and should be a decent pitch.

The match will sit between Liverpool‘s Premier Leauge encounters with Man United (A) and Brighton (H).
Five games in 14 days.
I doubt that any of the team that faces Preston will be involved in the PL games

Think Klopp will keep rotating and the team against Preston will be a mixture of youth and experience. A lot will depend on the fitness situation.

I think the ideal would be if we can match what we did in the last couple of weeks, rotate rotate rotate, followed by steamroll, steamroll, steamroll…

Always nice to see any level of Utd bounced.
