Predicting a team after an international break in the past was generally quite tough but nowadays there are a number of players who aren't involved with their countries and therefore can be expected to play a part tomorrow. The likes of Giggs, Scholes and Berbatov have retired whilst youngsters like Rafael, Obertan and Bebe aren't regulars at international level. United fans had been looking forward to seeing Owen Hargreaves make his first Old Trafford appearance since the goalless draw with Villarreal in September 2008, but Fergie dashed those hopes this morning by confirming that Hargreaves is currently out with a minor calf injury. That means that the main piece of intrigue on the teamsheet could be the selection of Bebe as a substitute, giving him the opportunity to make his home debut.
West Brom have made a great start to the season with their shock victory at the Emirates causing a huge stir. Yet they may well be without star man and September Player of the Month Peter Odemwingie who has been struggling with a knee problem. That would leave the striking burden with Marc-Antoine Fortune who has yet to settle after returning to The Hawthorns from north of the border.
