Steve Bruce is hoping for a double boost ahead of the trip to Watford.
Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin are expected to be assessed following thigh trouble while captain Jamaal Lascelles is also facing tests on an ankle problem.
Almiron was an unused sub while Lascelles and Saint-Maximin sat out the clash at the Etihad Stadium which United lost 5-0.
Bruce, speaking at his Press conference to preview the Watford game, said: "We will know a little bit more this afternoon.
"I hope Almiron, Saint-Maximin and the skipper will be OK. We will see. It will help us a little bit."
Bruce feels his team are capable of raising their game against the Hornets.
And he revealed that he has asked his team for a response.
Bruce said: "It was the manner of it. I still think we could do better.
"The measure of a good team is how you respond in it.
"It is important that we finish it off.
"We have to respond and I hope we can do that."
