1) Martin Skrtel vs Wayne Rooney
With Robin van Persie out, and Radamel Falcao still struggling for any sort of form, all United’s attacking threat is likely to come through their captain. The man responsible for stopping him will be, as ever, Martin Skrtel. The Slovakian has been an absolute rock so far this season, particularly throughout our recent purple patch, but will be well aware of the threat Rooney causes. Skrtel can’t afford to take any prisoners, and we’re sure he won’t hold anything back!
