Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag should be working with an identical group of players for Sunday's Premier League blockbuster against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils were without Leny Yoro (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (toe) and Luke Shaw (calf) for the 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League in midweek, and Ten Hag expects the quartet to sit this one out too.
Following another lackadaisical performance in midweek, Ten Hag will no doubt ring the changes, and the hosting manager faces a particularly tricky dilemma in the final third, where Joshua Zirkzee should continue up front over Rasmus Hojlund.
All of Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho are fighting for two wide spots, and the latter could very well demote the former to the bench for the visit of Spurs, where Bruno Fernandes will finally endeavour to get off the mark for the new campaign.
However, Christian Eriksen certainly made his mark in midweek with a thunderbolt of an opener, and the Dane has likely done enough to reprise his role alongside Kobbie Mainoo, expected to replace Manuel Ugarte.
One change should be afoot in the backline as well, as Harry Maguire was drafted back into the rearguard in midweek, but Matthijs de Ligt will surely return for Premier League duties.
It is otherwise as you were at the back for Man United, as Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez protect number one Andre Onana.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Diallo, Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee
