The AFCON stars will be joined by stars of the calibre of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Ramires and Demba Ba as coach Rafael Benitez seeks to overcome his fiercest rival, Sir Alex Ferguson.

Having played on Saturday, both sides face a quick turnaround because of fixture congestion by having to play the game 24 hours after.
.
Manchester United hold an eight wins to two lead in the FA Cup standings, including a 4-0 victory in the 1994 final with two penalties from Eric Cantona.
.
Chelsea won their only other clash in the final, 1-0, in the first to be held at the new Wembley, courtesy of a goal in extra time from Didier Drogba.
.
The holders boast of an impressive record in the FA Cup, being winners in four of the last six seasons, and in seven overall.
.
They have won 22 of their last 27 FA Cup matches, drawing in five. Blues have beaten 13 of the last 14 Premer League clubs they have encountered in this competition, and have found the net in all 28 FA Cup outings, since the 1-0 loss to Barnsley in the 2008 quarter-final.
Manchester United must be careful with the way they handle both of them in today's game. They would be a force to reckon with
