Roeder: "United are having a great season and certainly they look like they're favourites to take the title from Chelsea, although I'm sure Jose would have plenty to say about that.
"Every player and every supporter, when they see the fixture list come out at the start of the season, they always look to see when you're at home to Manchester United.
"Everyone has got to play them - and going back to when I was a player myself, playing against United was always a game to look forward to."
