Ruben Amorim will probably be with out the beforehand ever-present Diogo Dalot for tonight’s Premier League Conflict towards Southampton at Previous Trafford.
The Portuguese is serving a one-match suspension after being despatched off towards Arsenal on Sunday.
Amorim could exchange Dalot with Tyrell Malacia at left wing again, however because it’s a house recreation towards the underside group within the league, we predict he’ll undertake a extra attacking formation.
Noussair Mazraoui might swap to the left, with Amad coming again in as proper wing again.
Harry Maguire or Matthijs de Ligt might be rested for Leny Yoro as Amorim continues to combine the younger prodigy into the beginning XI slowly.
Lisandro Martinez is prone to be the third centre again.
Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw are all nonetheless injured.
In midfield, Christian Eriksen might get a run out alongside both Kobbie Mainoo or Manuel Ugarte to supply some creativity.
Toby Collyer carried out admirably in Sunday’s Cup recreation and there may be additionally the choice of Casemiro, however we anticipate them each to be on the bench.
Eriksen’s presence in midfield will enable Bruno Fernandes to play a extra superior position, maybe alongside Alejandro Garnacho, who has began to seek out type of late, and Josh Zirkzee.
Zirkzee has come on as substitute for Rasmus Hojlund in the previous couple of video games and seemed the higher participant. He will probably be buzzing after scoring the successful penalty towards the Gunners on Sunday, and Hojlund in all probability would profit from a relaxation.
Antony is an alternative choice on the wings, however Mason Mount remains to be injured. Marcus Rashford can also be technically accessible, however it’s trying possible he’ll depart the membership this month and should not even be within the squad.
Regardless of reserve keeper Altay Bayindir’s heroics and man-of-the-match efficiency on the weekend, Andre Onana will return in aim.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted XI for tonight’s recreation:
