Manchester United will be without Michael Owen, Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov in Basel so Wayne Rooney will be partnered by Danny Welbeck against the Swiss champions.

Best Match Odds

Basel - 5/1 William Hill
Draw - 3/1 Stan James
Man United - 4/6 bet365

Manchester United apparently under-estimated FC Basel when they hosted the Swiss side at Old Trafford in September. That is not really true, they simply got lazy after going 2-0 ahead through goals from Danny Welbeck.

The England international will start tonight in St. Jakob Park and will hope that those behind him can do a better job of keeping out Fabien Frei and Alexander Frei this time around. 

The United defence will be well protected tonight with Phil Jones and Darren Fletcher set to start in a very defensively orientated central midfield. They will allow Nani and Ashley Young to push forward in support of Welbeck and Rooney.

The back four of Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Chris Smalling has plenty of experience and one would expect them to make no mistakes second time arounf.
