Neville has now recovered from a groin injury and Scholes is also over a hip complaint, so Sir Alex Ferguson is set to pitch both men into a white-hot atmosphere, aided by 9,000 travelling fans.

Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown should continue in central defence, while Wayne Rooney will be looking to add to his 15-goal tally for the season.

Team (from): Kuszczak, Foster, Neville, Rafael, De Laet, Vidic, Brown, Evra, Fabio, Valencia, Park, Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Anderson, Gibson, Giggs, Obertan, Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Welbeck, Tosic.
