Manchester United come into this game looking to grab all three points after an important away win at Goodison Park last weekend against a CSKA Moscow side that remain unbeaten at home this term.
Recent Form
United are in solid form winning 5 games in their last 6 games and sit third in the Barclays Premier League while counterpart CSKA Moscow are 5 points clear on top of the Russian top flight, having not lost a league game this season. Group B has all it's teams with 3 points which throws the group wide open for every team involved.
Squad Update
After sitting out the game at Goodison Park, Antonio Valencia and Sergio Romero return to the squad but James Wilson misses the trip due to illness.
Luke Shaw remains a long-term absentee while Ashley Young as well as Paddy McNair are still sidelined but there are no recent injury problems. CSKA, who defeated Ural 3-2 last weekend, will hope to have their GK, Igor Akinfeev, back in action "despite a recent knock" as he looks to keep a first clean sheet in the competition since November 2006. Bibras Natcho and Vasili Berezutski are also potential doubts for the game on Wednesday.
Reactions and Expectations:
Manchester United put up a stunningly impressive performance at Goodison Park on Saturday bouncing back from a dreadful loss at the Emirates. It was relieving to see Rooney score a goal. Martial settled down well in the left flank while Memphis was rested following his underwhelming performances in the Barclays Premier League.
Ander Herrera performed brilliantly once again as always and will be looking to get a deserved start tonight. CSKA Moscow are a strong side and their unbeaten run at home this term is a strong statement to that fact.
Louis van Gaal: "We've lost one game to PSV Eindhoven and we want to gain at least one point against CSKA Moscow. This is a very important match for us."
Facts:
Manchester United have lost three of their last five away games in all competitions. Going further back, they have won just nine of the last 26 Premier League games on the road.
Anthony Martial has scored four goals in eight appearances for United, including three in five in the Premier League, but he has not scored in his last four in all competitions.
