TEAM ANNOUNCED vs Schalke: Berbatov and Scholes start

Ahead of this weekend’s crunch match with Chelsea Sir Alex has put out a team with the intention of getting the job done tonight but also to remain fresh for Chelsea.

There has been a massive changes from the team that took on Arsenal on Sunday as Smalling and Evans are paired at the back alongside Rafael and John O’Shea whilst Scholes starts in the midfield beside Gibson.

Berbatov is restored to the starting line up and is supported by Valencia and Nani who will provide width.

It is clear to see what Sir Alex is focused on in the two trophies we can still win but with that two goal advantage and the personell selected we should still be able to get through tonight.

Starting XI: van der Sar, Rafael, Evans, Smalling, O’Shea, Nani, Gibson, Scholes, Anderson, Valencia, Berba

Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Owen, Giggs, Chicharito, Fletcher, Vidic
