Squad sheets: Manchester United v Blackpool

Manchester United, the champions, host a Blackpool side scrapping for survival. The hosts are aiming to go through the entire season unbeaten at home, while the visitors are looking to pick up their first victory at Old Trafford in 49 years. It hardly helps their cause that Sir Alex Ferguson has said he will field a strong team, but Ian Holloway's men could still lose and stay up – and therefore play in the Premier League for a second successive season – should Birmingham, away at Tottenham, lose by a bigger margin.
