Manchester United look confident to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League after their win against Trotters on Saturday. Though they were not at their best but come Wednesday and United will have to play at their best if they are to repeat their last year's success.
United have already won their 2 group games and comfortably top their Group. Wednesday's Champions League tie against CSKA Moscow will see them travel to the Russian capital without their star players. The Red Devils will be without Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Darren Fletcher, Park Ji-sung and Patrice Evra when they travel to Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
I think Sir Alex Ferguson would not want to risk any of his players in Moscow as he will be concentrating on Sunday's Premier League clash with arch-rivals Liverpool. With 5 players already injured, Fergie will be very cautious in the build up to their game against CSKA Moscow.
The Luzhniki Stadium has been lucky for Manchester United as they were crowned European Champions two years ago at the same venue. I still remember that emphatic win against Chelsea that saw United win the Champions League.
But with the unavailability of their star players will Manchester United find it difficult to beat the Russian outfit on their home turf?
