United go into the fixture with almost a clean bill of health. Michael Carrick has been sidelined with an achilles injury but his is the only new problem to occur. A familiar issue will arise this morning when Sir Alex has to check on the fitness of Antonio Valencia and new-boy Chicharito after long journeys from the Americas. The major boost is that Rio Ferdinand has been declared fit and ready after a series of impressive training performances. That leaves the squad thriving with the only other absentees likely to be the few who appeared for the reserves last night, namely Wes Brown, Ritchie De Laet and Anderson, who had to be replaced with a slight ankle niggle.
