Manager's View: "Edwin misses the game, so it's a debut for Ben Foster," said Sir Alex. "I had planned to send him out on loan. But Edwin is injured and Tomasz Kuszczak is suspended."Having been out for the best part of a year and with only one reserves game behind him, it's a big challenge for Ben. But I have no fears. He will be OK. What encourages me is that he has got fantastic presence, speed and agility."His rehabilitation went completely as planned and he's been in full training for about a month so there are no question marks over his fitness. What we can't tell is how match sharp he is. He's only had one game. But his assets give me confidence he'll do well."
"Louis trained on Thursday and if he comes through training on Friday then he will be involved against Derby."
Assistant manager Carlos Queiroz: "We were very down after the FA Cup game against Portsmouth last Saturday.
"It was a bad feeling because we felt the trophy escaped from our grasp.
"We cannot rely and expect other teams to make mistakes in our favour. This is a crucial part of the season and there is no room for error on our part."
