They will stick to a 4-4-2 formation. Carlton Cole and Victor Obbina will play unfront and Robert Green will protect the net. Midfielder Scott Parker is also likely to start with the only unconfirmed player Piquionne remaining a doubt.
Man United
United will go for a 4-4-2 formation as well. Chicharito is likely to start alongside Rooney with Berbatov on the bench once again. Jonny Evans and Paul Scholes will miss the game due to suspensions. Moreover, Ferdinand, Fletcher, Owen Hargreaves , John O’ Shea and Rafael will not be playing due to various injuries.

Manchester United 2-0 West Ham United.
