THE OPPOSITION: Despite an injury list as long as your arm – Mikel Arteta, Louis Saha, Marouane Fellaini are out and Tim Cahill and Jack Rodwell missed the draw with Villa – they’ve taken 11 points from six games to lie third in the form table. But away from home they’ve lost three and drawn two of six.
