VENUE: Old Trafford, England
Key Battle: David de Gea v Wojciech Szczesny There are many similarities between the young goalkeepers given the responsibility between the sticks for two of the Premier League's most successful sides. Tall, elegant and with good distribution, De Gea has been targeted in the opening games of the season after a few high-profile errors that haven't cost his side too dearly, while Szczesny boasts a similar stature, age and skill set although has avoided the critical spotlight to date (Carling Cup final howler aside) with team-mate Lukasz Fabianski taking most of the heat from the fans. Both are incredibly talented for their age and have all the attributes to be a success in the Premier League. How they handle the pressure at Old Trafford could be decisive.
