After losing to Lazio in 1999, United are determined win the UEFA Super Cup this time...

Form Guide: Following Monday's 1-0 victory over Portsmouth at Fratton Park, United are looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season from three games to four and win the second trophy of the season so far. Zenit St Petersburg's league campaign has seen something of a turnaround, from being five places from the bottom to their current sixth spot in the Russian Premier League.

Ins and Outs: Owen Hargreaves is ready to start his first game of the season after a tendinitis problem. Meanwhile Gary Neville is also set to play his first competitive match in Monaco. Zenit may be missing their star forward Andre Arshavin on Friday after he saw a move to Tottenham collapse last week. Boss Advocaat said, “His head is occupied with other thoughts." However Russian forward Pavel Pogrebnyak is available after missing out on Euro 2008 because of knee problems.

Star Men: After netting both of United's goals in the Premier League to date, Darren Fletcher will be one to keep an eye on. For Zenit, Pogrebnyak upfront may cause some problems for the Reds' defence. The 6' 2" striker scored twice in their most recent league win, 3-0 against seventh-placed Krylya Sovetov.
