Manchester United Vs AC Milan
Man Utd face an injury crisis with defenders Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Mikael Silvestre and Craig Cathcart missing from the game with Patrice Evra rated 50-50 for the tie. Gabriel Hienze is the only fit first choice defender available and will line up with the likes of Darren Flecther, Wes Brown and John O’Shea in a makeshift defence. Man Utd will have no other option but to employ the attack is the best form of defense mentality to ensure an All English final remains on the cards.

Milan will be delighted with the makeshift defence their about to face but their boss Carlo Ancelotti remains wary of Man Utd attacking threat in the form of sparkling Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. Milan were able to rest several first teamers during their last league match and has no injury concerns with goalkeeper Dida likely to recover from a shoulder injury.

Prediction: Man Utd to suprise their visitors with a win.
