I think I would prefer to have United, Arsenal and Chelsea within the 1st 5 or 6 games because it gets them out the way and if we get Villa then if his partnership with torres continues at euro's then they would'nt need time to gel. Also if we then beat them 3 then it would set us up nicely for number 19
I dont think we would miss Lucas because hopefully we would still have Xabi to partner Gerrard and we could even have Plessis for the game against Arsenal as he done very well against the last season. We can cover the loss of Babel because we have Benayoun and may still have pennant or have a new winger. The only player we would truly miss is Masch but then again it might be good it we dont have him against united because of what happened last time. Cant really see Arenal being to much trouble and i think chelsea would be a good team to play early on because of the new manager, unrest surrounding Carvalho, Lampard, Drogba etc. Even United might be a good side early on because if Ronaldo's heart is set on a move away then his head wont fully be on United and they struggle when he is not at his best
Hull - Home
Chelsea - away
Stoke - Away
Arsenal - Away
United - Home
