Manchester United v Celtic, Champion's League Preview

I can't wait until the match tonight which some people are calling the battle of Britain. European and English Champion's Manchester United are taking on Scottish Champion's Celtic, at Old Trafford.

So far in the Champion's League Manchester United haven't conceded a goal and Celtic haven't scored a goal which would suggest that it will be a United win but it is about time that Celtic score and United concede, anything could happen.
Celtic have lost 16 out of 17 away matches in the Champion's League but they have drawn away against Barcelona in the Nou Camp which is a good result.
ManUnited are now on 15 matches unbeaten in the Champion's League at home which is a fantastic record.

Bad news for United fans- Patrice Evra has been ruled out of tonights match, so John O'Shea is expected to replace him and Sir Alex has hinted that he will rest Cristiano Ronaldo and that Nani will take his place.
Anderson and Tevez are back after returning from international duty (Anderson and Tevez only arrived back a day before saturday's game, so they were rested).
Kuszczak is back for Manchester United and he has replaced Amos on the bench.

Celtic midfielder Marc Crosas didn't travel with Celtic's squad but Hinkel did travel.
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Georgios Samaras and Chris Killen are out, but Gary Caldwell is expected to play.

The Squads:

Manchester United: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Neville, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, O'Shea, Ronaldo, Nani, Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Gibson, Park, Tevez, Berbatov, Rooney, Manucho.
Celtic: Boruc, Caldwell, Wilson, McManus, Loovens, Naylor, McGeady, S Brown, Hinkel, Hartley, Robson, McDonald, Sheridan, Maloney, M Brown, McCourt, Hutchinson, Nakamura, O'Dea.

Hopefully it will be an open match, loads of goals, a fantastic performance and ofcourse a Manchester United win.
