Man Utd
United will be without Diogo Dalot following his red card against Arsenal, which has resulted in a one-game ban, while Marcus Rashford is unlikely to be involved due to the ongoing uncertainty over his future. Amad Diallo is the most likely to replace Dalot at right wing-back, while the likes of Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia could come in to freshen up the defence after a gruelling 120 minutes at the Emirate Stadium.
Alejandro Garnacho appears to have done enough to impress Amorim in recent weeks so could keep his place, while Joshua Zirkzee may come in for Ramus Hojlund, who started the FA Cup clash.
Southampton
It’s a case of as you were for Southampton, who will be without Jack Stephens and Ross Stewart. Flynn Downes is working back towards fitness but this game will likely come too soon.
Southampton rank sixth for most passes made in the Premier League this season (9,910) but second bottom for most shots (187), meaning Saints average 53 passes per shot in the competition this term (more than any other side).
Prediction
Bruno Fernandes said on the pitch at the Emirates on Sunday that the focus was immediately on this game, and he was right to do so. United have managed to get results at the three best teams in the country – Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal – but it is against the weaker teams where they produced far weaker performances. But I can’t anything but a United victory in this one.
