Midfielder Cheick Tiote and defender James Perch return from suspension, but skipper Kevin Nolan completes his two-match ban. Goalkeeper Steve Harper has had an injection in his knee and is doubtful.

Wayne Rooney will return from suspension to spearhead Manchester United's attack as the Barclays Premier League leaders look to atone for their FA Cup disappointment by beating Newcastle at St James' Park.

Rooney is available after a two-match ban and is expected to replace Dimitar Berbatov.

Paul Scholes misses out following his red card at Wembley but fellow veteran Ryan Giggs is expected to return, whilst Jonny Evans returns from his own ban.

Why is this thread dead?

Nani out for Owen?

Commentator says: Not quite sure it was a dive from Hernandez.
Bollocks!

Utd drop 2pts.

A dive as clear as day. . . .Hernandez jumped into Simpson's leg.

If that's a dive, then Lovenkrands should've been twice over.

Even Chelski have a shot at the title now.

Nobody wan win league again
