MATCH PREVIEW

Louis van Gaal must contend with a selection headache for his side's trip to Watford on
Saturday after revealing that Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney will miss the match though injury and illness respectively.

The Manchester United manager's plans for
the trip to Vicarage Road had been disrupted
by an ankle injury sustained by Michael Carrick while on duty with England and because Marouane Fellaini, who has been deployed as a forward, has still not recovered from a knock sustained in the UEFA Champions
League victory over CSKA Moscow.

Van Gaal has hinted that James Wilson, who
has made one league appearance this season,
as a late substitute in the 3-0 defeat at
Arsenal, is in line to play some part against
Watford. Jesse Lingard and Memphis Depay are
also in the frame to go up front.

"He can play but he cannot play a whole
match because he doesn't have the rhythm of
the game," he told MUTV.

Lingard will be hopeful of a third start for
United, after scoring his first BPL goal
against West Bromwich Albion last time out,
while Depay has watched United's last three
league matches from the bench.

If United win they will leapfrog Manchester
City, Arsenal and Leicester City, who are not
in action until later on Saturday, into top spot.
But a new-look United attack will have their
work cut out as Watford's solid start to their
top-flight return has been forged around a
miserly defence breached only 12 times in as
many matches.

Watford have no new injury worries and
captain Troy Deeney says Man Utd's visit to
Vicarage Road will be a great occasion for
the promoted side.

"Now it's a different manager, a different
style of football, but it's still Man United,"
Deeney told Premier League TV. "It's still one
of the biggest clubs of the world coming to
little, old Watford. 

"So it's going to be a great occasion for the
fans, and for someone like myself. Not too
long ago I was paid £10 a week to play, so if
I'm now playing against Man United I'm just
going to enjoy it."

MATCH PREVIEW

Chris Smalling wants Manchester
United to prove their attacking
prowess against West Bromwich
Albion at Old Trafford on
Saturday.
Louis van Gaal's side have scored two goals
in their last five matches in all competitions,
with their previous two Barclays Premier
League outings against Manchester City and
Crystal Palace ending goalless.
As Van Gaal has been quick to point out,
United have made progress in defence -
keeping more clean sheets (7) than any other
team in the league this season - but are
lacking a cutting edge at the opposite end of
the pitch while Tony Pulis' West Brom side
have not conceded in four of their five BPL
away matches in 2015/16.
Smalling acknowledges it will be difficult to
break Albion down but he still feels United
have the creative players needed to make an
impact in the final third.
"Tony Pulis has made them very solid and they
don't concede many goals, so we're going to
have to break them down," he told
www.manutd.com . "If we can get an early
goal, I think you may see the floodgates
open."
Wayne Rooney was on target in United's 1-0
UEFA Champions League win over CSKA
Moscow on Tuesday, the England captain now
level with Denis Law on 237 goals for the
club. That header also ended a barren run
that had seen Van Gaal's team go 404
minutes without scoring.
Rooney will have fond memories of coming up
against West Brom in the BPL, having played
a role in 11 goals (seven scored by him, four
assists) in his past seven starts against them.
But Pulis has seen his side defeated only
twice in their last nine top-flight fixtures on
the road. Chris Brunt, who should recover
from a knock in time to feature against
United, praised the role of team spirit in
guiding them down that path.
"Over the last few weeks we've found a bit
of form together but obviously the result was
disappointing on Saturday [a 3-2 defeat
against Leicester City]," he told the
Birmingham Mail. "We can trust each other to
do the jobs to the best of our ability and
that's all you can ask for anywhere on the
pitch."
West Brom, who were 1-0 winners at Old
Trafford in last season's corresponding fixture,
will be without former United goalkeeper Ben
Foster (knee), but Jonny Evans and Darren
Fletcher are expected to play.
Antonio Valencia (foot), James Wilson (knock)
and Paddy McNair (abdomen) are doubts,
while long-term absentee Luke Shaw will not
feature. Matteo Darmian will also be
unavailable as he is suspended.

MANCHESTER UNITED - CSKA MOSCOW PREVIEW: VAN GAAL DEMANDS END TO GOAL DROUGHT

The Red Devils have not impressed in
front of goal recently, and the Dutch
manager wants the side to improve ahead
of the visit of Russian side

Louis van Gaal wants Manchester United
to use Tuesday's home Champions League
clash with CSKA Moscow as a turning
point for their season.

United secured a 1-1 draw in Russia thanks
to Anthony Martial's header in their most
recent European outing on October 21
but have since recorded three 0-0 draws
in a row, results which have seen them
lose ground to Manchester City and
Arsenal at the top of the Premier League
table and exit the League Cup on
penalties to Middlesbrough.

With his side again struggling in attack in
a stalemate with Crystal Palace on
Saturday, Van Gaal wants to see a
reaction when the Russian Premier League
leaders visit Old Trafford.

"When I see their characters, I don't think
they have doubts about that quality," Van
Gaal said of his attacking players. "It can
change in one match - let that be
CSKA, because we need victory.

"I have to hope we score against Moscow
again because then we are talking in a
different way."

CSKA, meanwhile, secured a comfortable
2-0 victory over Ufa on Saturday to equal
the Russian top-flight record of 36 points
from 14 matches.

Nigeria international Ahmed Musa is
himself looking to end a three-game goal
drought and, with only goal difference
currently separating his side and United in
Group B, he hopes to do so this week.

"The most important thing is the three
points. It's football - sometimes you score,
sometimes you don't," Musa said.

"I'm sure I'll score again soon. I hope it'll
be in the Manchester United game."
United expect to be without Antonio
Valencia (foot) for the game, while
Memphis Depay is still struggling to shake
off a knock suffered against
Middlesbrough.

Bibras Natcho (head) and Vasiliy
Berezutsky (thigh) are both doubts for
CSKA boss Leonid Slutsky, who was
confirmed as Russia's coach for the Euro
2016 finals this week.

United are still looking for a first ever
home victory against Russian opposition
and only a second in nine matches against
any side from the country.

Their last home clash with CSKA came
in the 2009-10 group stages, when
Valencia scored an injury-time equaliser to
secure a 3-3 draw.

Match Preview

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew is set
to be boosted by the return of Yohan Cabaye
and Jason Puncheon when Manchester
United visit Selhurst Park in the Barclays
Premier League on Saturday.

The Eagles lost their third successive match in all competitions
when they were beaten 5-1 by Manchester City on
Wednesday, with Cabaye and Puncheon both absent from the
League Cup tie.
Pardew also hopes to have more striking options back for
United’s visit, and he told www.cpfc.co.uk : "We now
get ourselves focused on the game on Saturday and need to
make sure we get a few bodies back for the game. We need
to put our strongest team out against them.
"We have some problems with a few as Jason Puncheon has
been ill and Yohan Cabaye has a knock but fingers crossed
they will be back for the weekend.
"Connor Wickham and Marouane Chamakh are training plus
we have our fingers crossed for Pape Souare being back on
Saturday."
Man Utd have won 10 and drawn two of their 12 BPL
meetings with Crystal Palace, the longest unbeaten run from
one current top-flight team against a single opponent in the
competition (level with Southampton’s unbeaten run against
Palace).
The Red Devils also exited the League Cup in midweek,
suffering a penalty shoot-out defeat to Middlesbrough at Old
Trafford, but they are just two points off BPL leaders Man
City.
Defender Chris Smalling has called for a response from the
League Cup exit. "We had quite a lot of chances but it just
didn't break our way," he told MUTV.
"I think we'll take the disappointment but we need to turn our
attentions immediately to Saturday, because it's another big
game, an away game, and we need a response."
United are still without Paddy McNair (abdomen) and Luke
Shaw (broken leg).

Crystal Palace (from): Hennessey, McCarthy, Speroni,
Dann, Delaney, Hangeland, Kelly, Mariappa, Souare, Ward,
Bolasie, Cabaye, Guedioura, Jedinak, Ledley, Lee, McArthur,

MANCHESTER UNITED - MIDDLESBROUGH PREVIEW:

The England Under-21 international came
close to scoring the only goal against
Manchester City, and the former
Blackburn defender has been impressed by
the youngster

Jesse Lingard might have been entering
Manchester United's League Cup fourth-
round tie against Middlesbrough as a
derby-day hero.

The 22-year-old came on for only his
fourth senior United appearance during
Sunday's 0-0 Premier League draw
against rivals Manchester City at Old
Trafford and was closest to breaking the
deadlock, volleying Anthony Martial's lofted
pass against the crossbar with five minutes
remaining.

Lingard started United's 1-1 draw against
CSKA Moscow in the Champions League
last week, and team-mate Phil Jones was
impressive with the midfielder's
contribution against City.

"It looked like it [Lingard's effort] was in
but that is the luck you need sometimes,"
Jones told United's official website.

"Maybe it could have hit the bar, it could
have come down and there could have
been somebody there to tap it in.

"But I thought he did great when he
came on and it would have been a
contender for goal of the season if it had
gone in."

Marcos Rojo could be in line for further
action when Middlesbrough visit the north
west - the Argentina international having
returned, like Jones, from fitness problems
to start the past three matches for Louis
van Gaal's team.

"I thought Marcos was terrific [in the
derby]," Jones added. "His passing was
great, he was a threat going forward and
he was solid defensively as well. It was a
top performance."

United may find themselves tangling with
another Manchester City man on
Wednesday night in the form of Bruno
Zucuilni - the Argentine midfielder having
completed a loan switch from the Etihad
Stadium to Teeside on Monday.

The 22-year-old, who spent time on loan
with Valencia and Cordoba in La Liga
last season, offers a welcome boost to
Boro boss Aitor Karanka's midfield
options.

Adam Forshaw sat out the 3-1 weekend
win at Wolves with a minor injury, while
Grant Leadbitter and Adam Clayton are
both a solitary booking away from
triggering a suspension.

Stewart Downing and Albert Adomah are
likely to come into Karanka's thoughts for
starting places at Old Trafford after they
came off the bench in Middlesbrough's
comeback at Molineux.

Former England winger Downing curled
home a wonderful free-kick to complete
the scoring, although he is still nursing a
rib injury.

"I took a whack in the ribs at Cardiff;
I'm not sure if there is a break there or
not, but I'm told there is nothing you can
do so I just decided to get on with
it," Downing told Boro's official website.
"Sod's law, I took a whack soon after I
came on against Wolves, but I'm glad to
have played my part. It was the perfect
time to score."


Head To Head

The teams last meet in the 2008-09 campaign
and the Red Devils won all three of the
meetings over the course of the season,
including the League Cup.

Goals from Ryan Giggs and Park Ji-Sung
fired United to a 2-0 win at the Riverside,
while a goal from Dimitar Berbatov decided
the contest at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo,
Nani and Giggs won the third round League
Cup match 3-1 at Old Trafford in their first
clash of the season.

Over the course of history, United have
dominated the fixture winning 62 of the
matches, compared to Middlesbrough's 33,
while 28 of the encounters have ended in
draws.

Man Utd v Man City:
Schweinsteiger excited by derby

German looking forward to first
Manchester derby and facing ex-
Wolfsburg star Kevin De Bruyne

Man Utd v Man City |
#MUNMCI | Preview and stats >>


Two former Bundesliga stars are
relishing the opportunity to make
their mark on the Manchester
derby when third-placed Man Utd
welcome their city neighbours to
Old Trafford on Sunday.

Bastian Schweinsteiger ended a 17-year
association with Bayern Munich to join United
in July, while Kevin De Bruyne has continued
the form that made him the German top
flight’s player of the year last term while at
Wolfsburg since becoming City's record
signing.

Despite his lengthy spell with Bayern,
Schweinsteiger rarely got a taste of cross-
town rivalry due to the ailing fortunes of 
1860 Munich, who share a ground with the
Bundesliga champions, but have not competed
in Germany's top flight since 2003-04.

"I am definitely looking forward to the derby
against City," the Germany captain told
United Review. "I think it is something very
special and we should be very happy that we
have two big clubs in one city that are also
playing in the Champions League.

"I remember when I was in Munich we were
always looking for that, but the other team at
1860 Munich didn't play so well.

"We were always looking for a derby but it
was sadly not possible. Here, we can play lots
of derbies and I am very happy about that."

Schweinsteiger faces an anxious wait to see
whether he will be selected in Louis van
Gaal's customary central midfield two having
been substituted at half-time in Wednesday's
1-1 UEFA Champions League draw against
CSKA Moscow.

Schweinsteiger is looking forward to his first
experience of a cross-city derby
By contrast, De Bruyne is set to be central to
Manuel Pellegrini's plans to avenge City's 4-2
defeat at Old Trafford in August, having
scored five times in seven starts for a team
without the considerable attacking firepower
provided by Sergio Aguero (hamstring) and
David Silva (ankle).

The 24-year-old Belgium international is
keen to pile the pressure onto United with a
victory that would open up a five-point gap
between the two, while bringing further cheer
to supporters who have instantly warmed to
him.

"In the end it is just three points, so if you win
or lose there it doesn't change a lot," he
said. "But if we can win there we will put a
little bit of pressure on them.
"For the fans it is one of the biggest games.
If we can win there, you know how it goes,
our supporters will talk to them for half the
season until the next game.
"Hopefully, we can win this one because it is
a big deal for them."
Despite his free-scoring exploits, De Bruyne
insists he has not allowed himself to daydream
about being a potential derby day hero.
"Not for a moment," he said. "It doesn't
matter really, in the end.
"If I am involved in the game I will be happy. It
doesn't matter if you score or do nothing; the
most important thing is to get the three
points."
Samir Nasri, Fabian Delph (both hamstring)
and Gael Clichy (ankle) remain unavailable
to Pellegrini, who must ponder whether to
restore captain Vincent Kompany to the
starting line-up and make a call between
Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna at right-
back.
Luke Shaw (broken leg) and Paddy McNair
(liver) are the only remaining injuries for Van
Gaal to deal with, although the 170th
Manchester derby comes too soon for Ashley
Young (calf).

MATCH PREVIEWS


Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has
selected 20 players in his squad
Manchester United head to Russia in good form
with five wins from their last six games, but they
face a CSKA Moscow side that is yet to suffer
defeat at home this season.
Louis van Gaal has taken 20 players to Moscow
with Champions League Group B delicately poised
- all four teams in the group are on three points
after two games.
Wednesday night's match marks the start of four
games in 10 days for Manchester United, as they
welcome Middlesbrough to Old Trafford in the
Capital One Cup either side of Manchester City
(home) and Crystal Palace (away) in the Premier
League.
CSKA Moscow are five points clear at the top of
the Russian Premier League after their 3-2 win
over mid-table FC Ural on Saturday.
They are yet to suffer defeat in their domestic
league so far this season, and got back to
winning ways in the Champions League with a
3-2 win over PSV Eindhoven at the Arena Khimki
after opening their campaign with a 1-0 away
defeat to Wolfsburg.
Team news
Manchester United will be without James Wilson,
Ashley Young and Paddy McNair for the fixture.
Young (calf) was injured against Arsenal before
the international break while McNair is still
recovering from the abdominal injury he suffered
while playing for Northern Ireland.
Paddy McNair is still recovering from an
abdominal injury and is not available on
Wednesday
Striker Wilson (illness) trained on Tuesday but
has been left at home by manager Louis van
Gaal, while Luke Shaw (ankle) is a long-term
absentee.
CSKA Moscow do not have any injury concerns.
Opta stats
Leonid Slutsky's side are top of the Russian
League with 32 points from 12 games - the only

MATCH PREVIEW


Everton manager Roberto Martinez is a keen
admirer of Wayne Rooney but hopes he falls short in
his bid to be fit for Manchester United's visit on
Saturday.

Rooney missed England's final two UEFA Euro 2016
qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania after
receiving a knock to the ankle in United's 3-0
Barclays Premier League defeat to Arsenal at the
start of the month.

The United and England captain remains doubtful for
this weekend's trip to his former club as United
seek to arrest a poor run of form at Everton.

Everton have won the last three meetings between
the sides at Goodison Park without conceding a
goal and Martinez's hopes of maintaining that
record have been bolstered by the likely return of
defender John Stones.

No new injuries have surfaced for Martinez
following the international break, although Leighton
Baines remains around two weeks away following
an ankle problem.

When asked about Rooney's return of one BPL goal
this season, Martinez told reporters: "His
contribution is a bit more than scoring goals.

"If you want my thoughts, I would prefer it if Wayne
Rooney doesn't play. From an opposition point of
view, I think Manchester United are a better team
when Wayne Rooney plays.

"He brings a lot more to his performance that just
hitting the back of the net."
Louis van Gaal's United went into the international
break off the back of the loss at Emirates Stadium,
as Arsenal scored all three goals inside the opening
20 minutes.

Morgan Schneiderlin will hope to regain a starting
place in midfield, with Bastian Schweinsteiger
having hurt his thigh while away with Germany.

United were beaten 3-0 at Goodison Park in April,
but Martinez is not paying much attention to
previous meetings.

"I think records and previous results mean very
little - what's important is that we respect
immensely this Manchester United side," he added.
"A couple of weeks ago when they went top of the
league, that was a real statement of intent.

"Manchester United have a settled side now and
have become really strong in what they do."
