Team News
Manchester United
Man United will again definitely be without the services of Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw through injury, while Mason Greenwood remains suspended by the Red Devils.
The home team are also sweating on the fitness of Raphael Varane, Fred and Scott McTominay, and it appears that all three could miss out, so Victor Lindelof, Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba are in line for starts.
Alex Telles will continue at left-back in Shaw's absence, but there could be a change at right-back, with Diogo Dalot potentially replacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Anthony Elanga could come in for Marcus Rashford.
Ronaldo suffered a nasty cut to his shin during the defeat to Everton last weekend, but the Portugal international has trained this week and is fit to lead the line for the home side.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Pogba; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo
Norwich
As for Norwich, Adam Idah, Ozan Kabak and Andrew Omobamidele are all definitely out of the match through injury, while Brandon Williams is ineligible against his parent club.
Billy Gilmour, Josh Sargent and Przemyslaw Placheta are also doubts for the visitors, so it would not be a surprise to see Smith name an unchanged side from the one that took to the field against Burnley.
That said, Max Aarons was on the bench against Burnley after recovering from injury, so the 22-year-old could come back in at right-back, but Pukki should again lead the line with support from Pierre Lees Melou, Milot Rashica and Kieran Dowell.
Norwich City possible starting lineup:
Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis; McLean, Normann; Dowell, Lees Melou, Rashica; Pukki
Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Norwich City
