It’s a big game for…

MEMPHIS DEPAY: The Dutchman hasn’t impressed in the Premier League as much as was anticipated since signing from PSV, however his Champions League performances have been more exciting. The winger has three in four in Europe this term and, after being dropped at Goodison Park on Saturday, needs to take the opportunity should he start on Wednesday.

Best stat…

14: The Red Devils have the worst record against teams from Russia than any other European country – their win ratio against sides from the nation is just 14 per cent. Their only victory came against CSKA in 2009.

Remember when…

Antonio Valencia struck the only goal in Russia that day, in October 2009, as United led the way to the top of their group. They were later knocked out by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.

Player to watch…

SEYDOU DOUMBIA: The Ivorian is back on loan at CSKA this season having signed for Roma last term. After scoring just two in 14 for the Italians, Doumbia has returned to the club he left in January and has scored four in his last four and 10 overall this season.
