It certainly wouldn't go amiss, but all eleven players picked are going to have to be somewhere near their best tonight. Whoever plays with Scholes in midfield has got to play a lot better than they have in recent matches. A big game from Carrick wouldn't go amiss tonight, i mentioned his much improved form in the second half of the season a few blogs ago and ever since he has regressed back to the mediocre from of the first half of the campaign. We need a big game from Tevez as i can't see Rooney making it, and i don't want to see a half fit Rooney limping around tonight. The big question is who will play alongside Ronaldo and Tevez, Nani and Park haven't really impressed too much in the last few games whilst i would see Giggs more of a sub in the very biggest games nowadays. But he will have to pick one of them and whoever that is will have to deliver. Finally lets hope the players are given the freedom to express themselves tonight. As much as we don't want Barca to score tonight, if they did happen to score first, at least that would mean that tactics would then immediately fly out of the window and it would be attack, attack, attack.

Kevin McCarra fancies United to beat Barca tonight and go on to win the title.
