    If coleman isn’t fit…than not sure if Moyes will go with drenthe or Neville right midfield….drenthe is the obvious choice, but he might want to mark McClean out of the game….bring drenthe on as an impact sub.....wouldn't be too surprised to see this game go to extra time, so the substitutes will be important

    Not sure Moyes will feel the need to go with Hibbert against these, I hope not anyway. And not sure Gibson is back in form yet to be starting this game.

    You have to hope Drenthe was being rested for this game, if not and there is an issue with Drenthe then I'd go with Gibson playing next to Fellani and Osman moved out to the wing.

    To be fair I'd be happy with any of those three teams. Just glad we haven't lost any keys players during this run of fixtures to be honest

    i think hibbert is a banker to start....he's a better defender than Neville, and will cope better against McClean pace........at Goodison Neville got himself booked pretty early, I could definately see him really struggling & getting a red card at sunderland.....alot will probably depend on whether coleman is fit or not.......

    I take you point on Coleman, hopefully he is. But if Drenthe is required there then I'm sure Hibbet will be behind him as you suggest.

    But then Neville and Hibbert did a good job on Bale so maybe he'll consider those two.

    Either way, Coleman and Drenthe look like being key things for Moyes!

    He was alright, but Moyes made a few comments about him after the match. Fancy him to start on the bench as an experienced head if needed second half

    if drenthe or coleman don't make it i'd be very worried that if Gibson doesn't play in midfield, Neville will......

    I don't care who plays as long as we win.
