TEAM NEWS
Manchester United strikers Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez have recovered from injury and are available for the Premier League game at home to Norwich City. The pair missed Tuesday's 3-3 home draw with Basel in the Champions League as Rooney was recovering from a hamstring problem and Hernandez from a dead leg. Although Rooney was also missing against Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday Ferguson said a shaky defence rather than a weakness in attack was to blame as United threw away a two-goal lead to trail 3-2 before Ashley Young's last-gasp equaliser.
Norwich will be without striker James Vaughan for the trip to Manchester United, as he is set to be out for up to four months with a knee injury. Centre-back Zak Whitbread is still recovering from his hamstring problem, while on-loan United defender Ritchie de Laet is unavailable against his parent club. Defenders Elliott Ward and Dani Ayala (both knee) remain out, while young forward Oli Johnson is set for a spell on the sidelines after ankle surgery.
MANAGER QUOTES
Sir Alex Ferguson: "Wayne (Rooney) and Javier Hernandez will be fit for tomorrow. They trained yesterday very well and I was pleased with that. Jonny Evans also comes back, hopefully that will help us in the defensive part as we're certainly changing the back four at the moment."
Paul Lambert: "Some teams are beaten before they even go there, but I will have my own way to deal with that. We have to go there with a belief, because if you don't you can get turned over. Hopefully you will have a game plan which will try to hurt them, but that can be blown out of the water within minutes."
