Keeper Ben Foster will return to Old Trafford since his move in the summer. Foster may not get the best of receptions after critising the fans for protesting against the Glazers.
Last summer, Foster said: "The fans are obviously passionate about the club but sometimes they need to focus on supporting the club a bit more than getting carried away with the technicalities of who's in charge."
Referee tomorrow is Mike Jones, he has refereed 22 games this season, showing 81 yellow cards and five red cards in all competitions.
Jones has only officiated one game involving Man United this season, which was the 2-2 draw with West Brom at Old Trafford back in October. Jones has also only refereed one game involving Birmingham City, which was their 0-0 draw away to Manchester City in November.
