Manchester United
Man United are expected to be without the services of Marcus Rashford, who picked up a groin problem during the clash with Everton on Saturday; an update on the attacker is set to be provided on Wednesday, but at this stage, he is likely to be unavailable for selection.
Luke Shaw is also a major doubt with a recent hamstring issue, while Donny van de Beek, Tom Heaton and Alejandro Garnacho remain on the treatment table.
The Red Devils will be boosted by the return of Casemiro, though, with the Brazilian available to play in Europe, and he has also now served his four-game domestic suspension; Christian Eriksen, meanwhile, made his return from an ankle injury against Everton on Saturday.
Anthony Martial has appeared off the bench in the team's last two games and could now come into the XI at centre-forward as Rashford's replacement, while Scott McTominay is likely to keep his spot in midfield following his impressive showing against Everton.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Varane, L Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, McTominay, Fernandes; Antony, Martial, Sancho
