Unlike Chelsea FC, who had no surprises, Manchester United have one small surprise in their lineup, as Patrice Evra misses through injury. Evra was questionable for this match, but most thought that he would, at the very least, make the bench. Instead, he's been left out entirely, and Fabio da Silva will play left back. Darren Fletcher is also out, as he continues to recover from a virus that caused him to lose a substantial amount of weight.
