Away from home they're yet to win in the league this season, while
are unbeaten at Old Trafford in the same competition
Sir Alex's men aren't infallible, however.
Bolton proved that much in the Reds' last league outing...
Ins and outs:

The Londoners will be hoping Wayne Rooney doesn't win his race against time to return from an ankle injury that's kept him out of United's last three league matches.
Star men:
Patrice Evra

第79分钟,C罗接应萨哈直塞趟过门将但摔倒,主裁判斯泰尔斯毫不犹豫判了C罗的假摔.而这次实在是一个误判.第一,已经趟过门将,最后一个后卫离身后有几米远,而那个球趟过的力度适中并未脱离控制范围,只要跳过门将,轻轻一推即可完成四年来首个帽子戏法,C罗没必要假摔.第二,C罗选择跳过门将,这本是个保护自己和门将的行为,而且如果假摔的话是直接把脚往门将身上放,或者等待门将下扑时直接往前摔倒,跳过门将的C罗显然是一心要继续往前进攻.第三,C 罗高速推进,趟过门将后起跳,整个人凌空的情况下,就算有点风吹草动都会失去平衡导致落地摔倒,而根据慢镜头的回放,涅米的手是在C罗准备跳起的一刹,绊到了C罗的仍未跳起的支撑脚--左脚.
