Stadium: Old Trafford

Referee: Michael Oliver (England)

Manchester United Team News

Man United will again be without the services of Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo through injury, while club captain Harry Maguire is out until after the international break with a calf problem.

Luke Shaw missed out against Villarreal on Wednesday due to a slight muscular issue but is expected to return to the XI for this match, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is available, with his ban only relating to European games.

Victor Lindelof should keep his spot at the back, but there will be changes from the clash against the Yellow Submarine, with Nemanja Matic and Fred potentially coming into the midfield, while Jadon Sancho might drop down to the bench, allowing Paul Pogba to move to the left.

Edinson Cavani is pushing for a start, and Solskjaer will certainly consider pulling Ronaldo out of the XI to hand the Portuguese a rest, but the Norwegian might just end up resisting the temptation.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Shaw; Matic, Fred; Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba; Ronaldo

Manchester United Premier League form: WDWWWL

Manchester United form (all competitions): WLWLLW

Everton Team News

As for Everton, Jordan Pickford is expected to overcome a shoulder problem to start, but a lengthy injury list still includes Andre Gomes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Fabian Delph, Seamus Coleman and Richarlison.

Alex Iwobi is also a doubt due to a knock, but Benitez said during Friday’s press conference that the former Arsenal attacker could still be available.

Townsend and Demarai Gray have both impressed for their new club this season, and the absence of Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin for the clash at Old Trafford means that Salomon Rondon should feature at the tip of the attack on Saturday afternoon.

Everton possible starting lineup:

Pickford; Godfrey, Mina, Keane, Digne; Townsend, Doucoure, Allan, Iwobi; Gray; Rondon

Everton Premier League form: WDWWLW

Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Everton
