Erik Ten Hag will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of changes from the last game as well. Anthony Martial could make his way back into the playing eleven as he looks to lead the charge against the visitors.

Unai Emery should set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a few changes to the starting XI this time around. Boubacar Kamara is set to start in the holding midfield position while Danny Ings gets a chance to lead the line up top.

Manchester United

Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe and Raphael Varane remain sidelined for this midweek clash. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho (illness) and Antony (knock) remain doubtful to start as they need an assessment later this week. Ten Hag will have enough players at his disposal to name a strong team so the Red Devils will have to bounce back or face immense backlash in the coming days.
