Starting XIs and Overall Shapes Stoke didn’t spring any surprises.

Starting Selections With Nani missing, Giggs started on the left and Valencia on the right for Manchester United in the expected 4-4-2 formation. In the centre, Ferguson once again fielded two “passers” in the shape of Scholes and Carrick. Liverpool didn’t spring any surprises, continuing with the 4-1-2-3 formation.
