Scholes back after suspension

Louis Saha is again missing as Manchester United look to book an FA Cup final appearance at Wembley with a win over Watford at Villa Park.

The French forward has still not recovered from the hamstring injury which has kept him out for a month, although Sir Alex Ferguson believes he will be fit to face Middlesbrough on Saturday week.

John O’Shea (calf) is the only minor doubt from the midweek rout of AS Roma, while Paul Scholes returns from suspension.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Brown, Heinze, Evra, Ronaldo, Scholes, Fletcher, Carrick, Giggs, Richardson, Smith, Solskjaer, Rooney, Cathcart, Dong.
