Last 5 matches forr Manchester United:
Manchester United - West Bromwich Albion 4-0
Blackburn Rovers - Manchester United 0-2
Aalborg - Manchester United 0-3
Manchester United - Bolton Wanderers 2-0
Manchester United - Middlesbrough 3-1
Team news: Patrice Evra’s (hamstring) early exit against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend has ruled him out of the meeting with Celtic. John O'Shea will come in at left back. This game also comes too soon for Michael Carrick (knee) and Owen Hargreaves (knee). These players join Paul Scholes (knee) on the Old Trafford treatment table. Cristiano Ronaldo may be rested by Sir Alex Ferguson to help his recovery from pre-season ankle surgery. In better news, Anderson and Carlos Tevez will return to the United squad after their late returns from international duty.
Last 5 matches for Celtic:
Inverness Caledonian Thistle - Celtic 1-2
Celtic - Hamilton Academical 4-0
Villareal - Celtic 1-0
Celtic - Aberdeen 3-2
Celtic - Livingston 4-0
Team news: Gordon Strachan faces a selection crisis for the trip to Manchester with strikers Georgios Samaras (cartilage), Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (groin) and Chris Killen (knee) all out of the game. These forwards will be joined on the sidelines by Marc Crosas (hamstring) after his injury against Inverness. Gary Caldwell (ankle) could feature even though he needed stitches in that match. Right back Andreas Hinkel will make a welcome return to the Celtic squad, whilst hot shot Scott McDonald should play even though he is struggling for peak match fitness.
Prediction: Home win (-1.5 AH) (1.76 @ 188Bet)

Arsenal - Hull City 1-2
Sunderland - Arsenal 1-1
Arsenal - Everton 3-1
Team news: Wenger will be without central defender Kolo Toure, who went off at half-time against Everton with twisted shoulder ligaments. Captain William Gallas and full-back Bacary Sagna are also sidelined. Johan Djourou may come into central defence after recovering from the concussion he sustained while playing for Switzerland, and Samir Nasri should be fit after a minor thigh problem that saw him withdrawn in the Everton game. Nicklas Bendtner is fit again from an ankle problem. Arsenal are still without Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo da Silva, but midfielder Abou Diaby returned at the weekend, coming of the bench, and defender Mikael Silvestre made his Arsenal debut, playing the full 90 minutes against Everton.
Prediction: Over 2.5 (1.92 @ Centrebet)
