OLYMPIAKOS ;
The big news in the Greek camp surrounds boss Michel Gonzalez’s available options, after Javier Saviola joined an increasing injury list which currently includes Jose Holebas and Nelson Valdez.
Olympiakos sold star striker Kosta Mitroglu to Fulhamin the January transfer window, while Vladimir Weiss also departed the club this winter to join Qatari outfit Lekhwiya SC.
It is therefore expected that weekend goal-hero Scepovic will start against United, while there could also be a start for Arsenal’s on-loan wideman Joel Campbell, who has been suitably impressive in Greece this season.
In goal will be a familiar face to the United faithful, with ex-Red Devil Roy Carroll marshalling the Olympiakos goal, almost nine years since he left Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED ;
It is thought that David Moyes will field a largely similar side to that which beat Crystal Palace on Saturday, with the only real change coming in attack at the expense of Juan Mata who is cup-tied.
Adnan Januzaj was impressive in the league victory, but Moyes has shown an air of caution in Europe this season, so is expected to play the slightly more-defensive Antonio Valencia on one flank, with Ashley Youngoccupying the other.
Defenders Jonny Evans and Phil Jones remain injury doubts with respective calf and shin complaints, while Marouane Fellaini is also likely to miss out, having only just returned from nearly three months injured at the weekend.
