DC: Chris Smalling
Tested against Boro, but hasn’t come in for criticism…unlike some of his teammates.
DC: Phil Jones
Should replace Daley Blind, who had a few worrying moments in midweek.
MC: Morgan Schneiderlin
Quietly effective in a reserved role against City, Schneiderlin should take his place in the heart of the park once again, having been overlooked against Middlesbrough.
MC: Michael Carrick
Expect LVG to trust the 34-year-old once again, and Carrick was solid-without being spectacular-against Boro.
