Manchester United

Life is good for Manchester United as they sit atop of the table in the Premier League and at the top of Group B in the Champions League ahead of this CSKA Moscow vs. Man Utd match on Wednesday night.

Man Utd have been steady in recent weeks and have won both of their Group B matches despite not overly impressing.

In the opening match against Besiktas, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men required a late goal from Paul Scholes to seal the victory, while in the second match, Man United had to come from behind to beat a feisty Wolfsburg 2-1.

Wayne Rooney, who has been in fantastic form, is doubtful for this Manchester United vs. CSKA Moscow fixture with an injury. But with the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen available, Man U has more than enough striking power to cause problems to the CSKA defence.


CSKA Moscow

Juande Ramos has done a decent job for CSKA Moscow since taking over from Zico, though with five games remaining in the Russian Premier League, the army club will have to finish strongly if they are to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Focusing on Wednesday night’s clash with Manchester United, CSKA Moscow find themselves in a respectable position after two games played.

Their most recent victory over Besiktas was much needed in their attempt to stay in the hunt for advancement.

Gone are the days when Wagner Love’s blue braids led the way up front for CSKA Moskva, but with Tomas Necid and Alan Dzagoev in attack, CSKA still pose a real threat to opposing teams, even against the likes of Man U.

The cold weather in Russia usually makes playing conditions less than ideal for visiting clubs, and if the hosts are able to capture anything from Wednesday night’s CSKA vs Manchester United meeting, the Russians would need to be in good shape at the halfway point.
