Team news

Matt Ritchie and Emil Krafth are available for Premier League action, with Lewis Miley likely to get an opportunity to further his burgeoning reputation in midfield.
Erik ten Hag has been boosted by the return to fitness of Rasmus Hojlund and Antony, giving him plenty of forward options to choose from with Marcus Rashford available after serving a one-match Champions League suspension. More concerns exist in midfield and defense, with Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, and Christian Eriksen all sidelined.
