It was expected that O'Shea would play a holding midfield role alongside Seb Larsson with Januzaj, Victor Anichebe and Fabio Borini supporting striker Jermain Defoe in a 4-2-3-1 system
Januzaj returned after missing the trip to Old Trafford as his contract prevented him from facing his parent club.
