Rodrigo Possebon Update
After fears of a broken leg were dismissed it was also
confirmed Possebon did not suffer ligament damage either,
which is excellent news.
Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar has recovered
from a knee injury picked up against Chelsea last week.
Midweek debutant keeper Ben Amos has been named in the
squad.
Bolton defender Gary Cahill returns after suspension
Johan Elmander will return after a hamstring injury.
Matt Taylor again looks likely to miss out with a broken
toe. |

Pre Match
Press Conference Highlights |
On United's slow start
“The form of the
team has started to come good,” said the boss. “We
expected that. I said last week that, by October, I
think we will be back to normal.
"There
have been a lot of encouraging signs in the last two
games. Some of the football on Tuesday was
excellent, as was the performance in the first half
against Chelsea.
“In the second half some of the players showed that
they needed a game. Gary Neville, Owen Hargreaves,
Ji-sung Park and Dimitar Berbatov showed that they
really only had one game behind them going into such
an important match. But it was a satisfactory
performance at Stamford Bridge.”
