Harry Maguire is Manchester United’s only major fitness problem for tonight’s meeting with Liverpool.
The Old Trafford clash against old rivals Liverpool is the third of three games in five days for United following a fixture pile-up.
United beat Aston Villa 3-1 at Villa Park on Sunday to kickstart the run with a win, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who was furious with the Premier League’s scheduling - made 10 changes for Tuesday’s home game against Leicester City.
Solskjaer named virtually a second-string XI featuring the likes of Amad Diallo, Anthony Elanga and Donny van de Beek, and Leicester left Old Trafford with a 2-1 win.
The upside to that result is that Solskjaer was able to rest near enough his whole starting lineup before the Liverpool game, meaning there are 10 changes on Thursday night.
Dean Henderson returns in goal, as does Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw at wing-back - though Maguire is definitely out with ankle ligament damage.
With Victor Lindelof returning at centre-back, Solskjaer picks Eric Bailly to partner him.
In midfield, Fred and Scott McTominay will come back in, while Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani start.
The key decision in attack will be whether Solskjaer opts for Mason Greenwood or Marcus Rashford on the right flank. Greenwood is in far better form, but it’s the latter who gets the nod.
As for injuries, Maguire joins Dan James, Anthony Martial and Phil Jones on the sidelines.
