That preamble went well: Bryan Mbeumo is only on the bench for Brentford. Thomas Frank makes two changes from the defeat at Brentford. Keane Lewis-Potter replaces the suspended Sergio Reguilon at left wing-back; the young Ukraine midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk starts ahead of Frank Onyeka.
Manchester United are unchanged from the win over Liverpool. Or rather, they have the same starting XI – the team had changed beyond recognition by the end of that marvellous match.
