After two home defeats in a row in the Premier League, Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways against Fulham, a side that has already been relegated from the Premier League.
United will be without central defenders Phil Jones and Harry Maguire against the Cottagers, but Eric Bailly has been passed fit for this game and should start alongside Victor Lindelof, despite their nervy performance in the 4-2 defeat by Liverpool.
Forwards Anthony Martial and Daniel James are both injury doubts but could return to the United squad on Tuesday, but will likely start on the bench.

It took United a fair while to break down a stubborn Fulham side, who were playing very deep without the ball to try and stay as solid as possible.
But ten minutes before half time, United took the lead through Bruno Fernandes, with Edinson Cavani providing the assist.
The Uruguayan forward slipped a pass in behind the Fulham defence for Fernandes, who ran onto the ball and produced a cool finish to make it 1-0.
Despite dominating the ball, United were struggling to create chances to score that second goal.
And that nearly came back to haunt the home side when Fulham went close to equalising from a corner-kick routine.
Joachim Anderson met the corner with a powerful header that was heading for the far corner, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka was on hand to clear the effort off the line.
As the match approached the final stages, the away side started to throw players forward in search of an equaliser.
But that suited United, who hit Fulham on the counter-attack and sealed the three points in the 90th minute through substitute Amad.
Fernandes sent Amad clear of the Fulham defence and the youngster finished well at the near post to make it 2-0 late on.
