Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is set to give starts to Giuseppe Rossi and Chris Eagles against Arsenal in the Carling Cup quarter-final tomorrow night.

Rossi, 17, has impressed at junior and reserve-team level since his arrival from Parma in the summer. With Louis Saha sidelined with a knee injury, Rossi could partner Alan Smith in attack.

Ferguson will stick with the side which defeated Crystal Palace and give a rest to the majority of his senior players ahead of the league match against Southampton.

SQUAD: Howard, P Neville, Brown, O’Shea, Fortune, Fletcher, Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson, Richardson, Smith, Bellion, Spector, Eagles, Rossi, Ricardo, Ngalula.
