The referee is John Brooks (Leicestershire). There is concern at Manchester United over Patrick Dorgu’s muscle injury sustained on Sunday; tests are still to confirm the prognosis and there is worry it may be a hamstring problem that could keep him out for several weeks, with some reports stating more than two months.

Matheus Cunha comes into the United side in place of the injured Dorgu. Michael Carrick remains interim manager; the club have been unbeaten in the Premier League since Ruben Amorim’s departure, including a draw with Burnley and wins against Manchester City and Arsenal.
