Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
