CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev is hoping to avoid another "horrible" night against Manchester United on Wednesday.
The Russian club can put a serious dent in United's hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages with a win over Louis van Gaal's men at the Arena Khimki.
The last time United came up against CSKA was six years ago.
United won 1-0 in the Russian capital, but in the opposing fixture CSKA came within a whisker of recording a historic win.
CSKA established a 3-1 lead over the hosts, but Paul Scholes pulled one back and Antonio Valencia scored in the 92nd minute to snatch a draw for the Red Devils.
"I have some horrible memories because they managed to draw after we led 3-1 and they created a lot of chances," Akinfeev told UEFA.com.
"I am not trying to diminish Manchester United's success in any way, but they had a very strong team at that point.
"Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney were there, Edwin van der Sar was the goalkeeper, a lot of stars, so maybe they got scared by the fact they were losing at Old Trafford."
CSKA recovered from a defeat to Wolfsburg to record their first win of this season's Champions League earlier this month.
Leonid Slutski's men are unbeaten and top of the Russian Premier League after 12 matches.
Akinfeev, who has played against Manchester City for the last couple of years, is predicting an "interesting" encounter with United.
"I think this will be a very interesting match," he said.
"It is always very interesting to play in the Champions League and to try to play our best against the best teams in Europe."
