How Manchester United could line up against Watford

Ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture between Watford and Manchester United, Sports Mole looks at how the visitors could line up at Vicarage Road.

Manchester United take on Watford on Sunday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to seven matches.

While United head into the weekend in sixth position, a return of 12 points from six matches has moved Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side into contention for the top four.

However, ahead of the first of four matches over a hectic period, Solskjaer is still dealing with a number of fitness issues in his first-team squad.

Here, Sports Mole predicts how United could line up for the fixture at Vicarage Road.

United and Solskjaer would have hoped to have had Paul Pogba available again by now, with an ankle problem keeping the midfielder out of action since September 30.

However, despite Solskjaer continuing to insist that the Frenchman is closing in on a return, no risks will be taken on the 26-year-old this weekend.

Despite only recording a 1-1 draw against Everton last weekend, the United boss could opt to select the same starting lineup.

The one alteration may come in the centre of the pitch, with Andreas Pereira and Juan Mata alternatives to Jesse Lingard in the most advanced role of a midfield three.

Luke Shaw should get the nod over Brandon Williams at left-back, while Mason Greenwood is expected to remain on the substitutes' bench.
