Manchester United supervisor Erik ten Hag has mentioned he expects to have the identical squad to select from tomorrow as was out there in opposition to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
And regardless of maintaining a clear sheet and claiming a victory, he will certainly know that the defence he fielded within the Midlands will get torn aside by Manchester Metropolis.
He reverted to making an attempt Sofyan Amrabat at left again once more and it was merely unsuccessful.
Jonny Evans was on the bench for that sport as he was not 100%. He might be recalled instead of the Moroccan, however he’s not a pure full again both.
It’s attainable, given the circumstances and opposition, that Ten Hag opts to go three on the again, with Victor Lindelof, Evans and Raphael Varane as centre backs.
If he does, we expect it’s doubtless Diogo Dalot will swap to the left wing again position, with Scott McTominay or certainly Amrabat at RWB.
Kobbie Mainoo must be recalled after being rested and may companion Casemiro in midfield.
This formation would additionally overcome Ten Hag’s headache of looking for a proper winger who’s to his liking. Antony, Amad and Omari Forson are the choices however none of them have seemed the half within the final couple of video games.
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho would interchange, chopping in from large and thru the channels, with Bruno Fernandes working as a false 9 a part of the time.
Christian Eriksen is the one different common first staff star out there for choice however doesn’t appear to have Ten Hag’s belief in the meanwhile.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Anthony Martial and Rasmus Hojlund are all injured.
Jadon Sancho, Hannibal, Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek and Facu Pellistri are all out on mortgage.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted line-up for a derby sport that United should get one thing out of in the event that they wish to mount a severe cost for Champions League locations:
Kick off on the Etihad is at 3.30pm tomorrow.
