Defender Nemanja Vidic is set to start Manchester United's Champions League game in Kiev but Louis Saha misses out.
Serbia star Vidic has not played since suffering concussion against Wigan two weeks ago but will replace Gerard Pique in the centre alongside Rio Ferdinand.
Saha is kept out by a knee injury, and Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to start after coming on late at Aston Villa.
Dynamo are without striker Serhiy Rebrov, but Brazilian forward Michael should be fit for the Group F clash.
Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, Ronaldo, Scholes, O'Shea, Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, Eagles, Rooney, Tevez, Dong.
Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson on strike duo Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez:
"They are only young players. In three or four years it might be something special.
"They have speed and courage, and can beat a man. Maturity is what we want to see now, and also authority and timing.
"Once that comes they will show everyone what great players they are."

Vida
Evra
Nani
Scholes
Giggs
Ronaldo
Rooney
Tevez
Would take a draw right now but predict a 2-0 win with Nani and Tevez the goalscorers.
SSN saying Vida will start but i'd rather not rush him back as he didnt fly out with the main party and let Pique have a European start. He has shown some good performances in his starts so far this season and he deserves another game.
Or failing that play him as the defensive midfielder that i think Fergie will want away from home in europe.
