Team News
Darren Fletcher, Phil Jones and Paul Scholes are all out of this one for United. Robin Van Persie, who picked up a hip problem last week, is doubtful. John Ruddy is out for Norwich. Alexander Tettey and Andrew Surman are both doubtful for Norwich having missed last week’s clash against Everton.
Analysis
United, after beating QPR, will look to carry their good form into this one. Norwich, sitting in twelfth, registered a first league win in five attempts against Everton. Last year, the Canaries did manage to pull off a shocking victory over the Red Devils. In the expected absence of Robin Van Persie, Norwich must look to take advantage of United’s obvious dependence on the Dutch striker.
