A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:After having beaten CSKA Moscow two weeks ago, they will meet again at Old Trafford and the Red Devils will want to make sure they keep their 100% record intact here.
The host are top of the group after three wins from three games and will fancy their chances against a side that recently sacked former manager Juande Ramos. New CSKA coach Leonid Slutski will have a hard time if they are to get anything from this match at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are unbeaten in 22 games at the Theatre of Dreams and will want to keep that proud record intact when the visitors come calling. And former Real Madrid, Newcastle and Liverpool striker Michael Owen is set to lead the line as Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney are both doubtful for the match.
Rooney is likely to spend time with his wife as he has just become a father while Berbatov is out with a knee injury. United are also missing the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic ho are out through injuries. This means that Ferguson is likely to retain the Ferguson is likely to continue with the defensive partnership of Wes Brown and Jonny Evans who played in the 2-0 win over Blackburn last weekend.
The good news is that midfielder Darren Fletcher will be available to start the match having been out since early October with an ankle injury and was an unused substitute for the match against Blackburn.
