5. Julio Cesar vs Van Persie

When it comes to the majority of play, Van Persie will obviously have to deal with QPR's defenders. But with the form he is in this season, it feels almost inevitable that he will either be presented with some glorious chances by his team mates, or else pick the ball up himself and conjure up half a yard on his lethal left foot. He was rested on Monday night so comes into this game totally fresh, which for QPR fans must be completely terrifying. With that in mind, Julio Cesar is going to need to have a big game in the QPR goal. Cesar is a fantastic keeper with a wealth of experience. The task of keeping out a player in the form of Robin Van Persie won't phase him. With no Rooney, and United in the habit of rotating the squad, it will more than likely be Van Persie and Wellbeck to start the game. Wellbeck is having a great season, but there is no doubt that Van Persie will be the one that Cesar is doing all his homework on.
