The Champions League Group E leaders Manchester United continue the defence of their title with a game at home to Scottish champions Celtic Glasgow on Tuesday evening.

The Reds will be without Patrice Evra who is battling for fitness, while the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting line up is a major doubt. Carrick and Hargreaves are still missing due to injury, which gives Tevez and Anderson the chance to feature as starters.

Manchester United hope to keep their five matches winning run by overturning the 1 – 0 defeat they suffered in Scotland the last time the two clubs met a couple of years ago.

Celtic will go into the game boosted by this infamous win powered by Nakamura’s free kick, and their manager Gordon Strachan backs his players to repeat this victory.

However, Manchester United have home advantage and memories recall a 3 – 2 win against Celtic was the final score line the last time Man United hosted Scottish champions.

Celtic have not been able to grab a single point away in the Champions League in more than three years and they are yet to end their miserable run of 15 European matches without a win.

Manchester United are favourites to win tonight’s encounter but the score line is still unpredictable. A victory will take the Reds a step closer to automatic qualification.
