TEAM NEWS
Iain Dowie will be expected to keep the heroes of Old Trafford team whilst Alan Pardew is likely to field the team which won against Norwich and Leicester.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ ON THE GAME
Iain Dowie said to the club website "I have good memories of my time at Charlton and certainly have no bitterness towards the club. "I worked hard while I was there but it is just one of those things. I am not the first manager to get sacked and I won't be the last. "They are a good side and are strong in all areas of the pitch. In Andy Reid they have an exceptionally talented player in midfield and I think a lot of club's were sniffing around Luke Varney before they spent £2.5m on him from Crewe."
