Norwich City
Norwich will again be without the services of Milot Rashica and Christoph Zimmermann on Saturday, while Brandon Williams is ineligible to face his parent club.
The Canaries were hopeful that Mathias Normann would be able to overcome a pelvic issue to start this weekend, but Smith ruled the midfielder out during Friday's press conference.
Ozan Kabak is pushing for a spot in the side, while Williams's absence will open the door for Dimitris Giannoulis to feature; Todd Cantwell is also an option in attack, but Joshua Sargent could be given the nod alongside Teemu Pukki as part of a front two.
Norwich City possible starting lineup:
Krul; Hanley, Gibson, Kabak; Aarons, McLean, Gilmour, Lees Melou, Giannoulis; Sargent, Pukki
Manchester United
As for Man United, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has emerged as a fresh injury doubt after picking up a knock to his knee against Young Boys on Wednesday, while Raphael Varane, Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba will again be unavailable for selection against the Canaries.
Rangnick is expected to change his entire XI once again, with the same team that started against Palace last weekend likely to take to the field at Carrow Road.
It should be a 4-2-2-2 formation once again, with Marcus Rashford playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the final third, leaving Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes in the positions just behind.
Luke Shaw made his return from a head injury against Young Boys, but Alex Telles has impressed at left-back in recent matches and should regain his spot in the XI for this game.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo, Rashford
Prediction: Norwich City 1-3 Manchester United
