Goalkeeper – Onana

Defence – Yoro, Maguire, Martinez

Leny Yoro could be introduced at the back for United, with dropping to the bench following his poor display against in midweek.Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez did not fare much better against the Magpies but will likely be preferred to Jonny Evans, while Victor Lindelof remains unavailable due to injury.

Attack – Amad, Fernandes, Hojlund

It would be a surprise to see Fernandes left out of the starting side, having also served a suspension against .
