Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester United and Norwich City. The first-division clash scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at Old Trafford in Manchester and can belive streamed here free.
Let the Ryan Giggs era in Manchester begin. Well, not exactly.
With the sacking of David Moyes, Manchester United enter today's match looking to move past the worst Premier League season in club history. With Giggs temporarily at the helm, United are expected to return to their philosophy in today's match with Norwich (h/t to the Independent). "It has been a frustrating season for everyone," he said.
"We win together and we lose together. These four remaining games I want to put smiles on faces and bring the intensity back. I want to see goals. tackles, players taking on players. I want to see the passion that should come with being a Manchester United player," Giggs added.
"[We have] three home games at Old Trafford, where the home form hasn't been great, and I want to see goals, tackles, players taking players on and getting the crowd up.
"I want the passion that should come with being a Manchester United player."

Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Manchester United's Luis Valencia hasn't performed at the level synonymous with his game in 2014. The 28-year-old has only provided two assists in domestic competition this season and is only averaging 0.9 key passes per match. With a return to the old United philosophy, the Ecuadorian will look to return to his old form.
Manchester United's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Gea; Büttner, Jones, Evans, Smalling; Carrick, Fletcher; Welbeck, Mata, Valencia; Rooney
Norwich City's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Ruddy; Olsson, Martin, Turner, Whittaker; Howson, Johnson, Fer; Snodgrass; Redmond, Hooper
