If they are to get a positive result, it will have to be without key midfielder Casemiro.

The £70million summer signing has been in great form of late.

David de Gea will keep his place between the sticks, although Jack Butland will be available again after having to sit out against parent club Palace.

Luke Shaw performed well at centre-half in recent weeks, but moved back to left-back at Selhurst Park.
