GK:David de Gea

With Rooney missing he will be the only nailed on certainty to start.

LB: Luke Shaw

Retains his place in the side despite some abject performances.

CB: Marcos Rojo

Will start in the middle as Evans is still not 100% fit.

CB: Phil Jones

The England man will be kept guessing over who he will be marking with Costa’s availability still uncertain.

RB: Rafael

The Brazilian will be expected to get forward often as well as tracking back to deal with Hazard.

DM: Daley Blind

Blind will need to be on his guard to keep track of Oscar.

CM: Angel Di Maria

Will be pushed slightly more central to accommodate for United’s diamond shape.

CM: Ander Herrera

Could be United’s ace alongside Di Maria, though may have to cover more to allow Di Maria to push forward.

AM: Juan Mata

A big afternoon for the Spaniard against his former club as he will look to keep Rooney out when he returns from his ban.

ST: Radamel Falcao

He already has one to his name, but he needs to hit the goal train soon in order to justify the huge wage packet.

ST: Robin Van Persie

RVP hasn’t looked himself so far this term, and like Falcao, needs to come up with the goods as soon as possible.
