Manchester United will field a similar team to the one that lost to Besiktas last week when they host Tottenham in the Carling Cup on Tuesday.

Teenage duo Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck may start up front, although Michael Owen's experience could also be used as the holders try to defend their crown.

Rafael Da Silva could be included at right-back to give veteran Gary Neville a rest after two games in four days, while Ben Foster is expected to replace Tomasz Kuszczak in goal.

United (from): Foster, Kuszczak, Amos, Neville, De Laet, Brown, Vidic, Jonny Evans, Corry Evans, Evra, Rafael, Obertan, Valencia, Gibson, Anderson, Fletcher, Carrick, Nani, Park, Tosic, Berbatov, Rooney, Owen, King, James, Macheda, Welbeck.
