I suppose this could be a '4-3-3/4-5-1' if Rooney plays on the left. However, I suspect this is the exact same lineup as we brought out versus Wigan Athletic, where it was more '4-2-3-1' in the 1st half with Rooney dropping deep to link play. Very interesting that Chicharito gets the start over Dimitar Berbatov.
