Ryan Giggs is set to make his 1,000th career appearance but Paul Scholes and Phil Jones are sidelined, although the latter man could be fit for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Norwich will again be without midfielder Alex Tettey because of a knee injury. On-loan Sporting Kansas City forward Kei Kamara is pressing for a place in the starting XI after coming off the bench to score in the win over Everton. Winger Andrew Surman (knee) remains out, while England goalkeeper John Ruddy continues his rehabilitation from thigh surgery and is set for a return at the end of March. Match Notes This could be a difficult game for United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to gauge. Coming just three days before the decisive Champions League second-leg against Real Madrid, does the he risk his team's 12-point lead at the top of the table by fielding a second-string? Probably, but nowadays United's is no ordinary second-string and they should avenge last November's 1-0 defeat, their last in the league, at Carrow Road. Stat of the game: Manchester United need 28 points from 33 available to set a new points record of 96 in the Premier League. Mark Ogden's prediction: Manchester United 2 Norwich City 0.
