Manchester United welcome Reading to Old Trafford for the FA Cup fourth round tie tonight. The Red Devils are overwhelming favourites for the encounter and they will be aiming to register their 11th win in 13 games.
Predicted Line-up:
Jack Butland looks on course to make his United debut. He has had multiple training sessions and should get the nod in goal ahead of David de Gea, who is the Premier League and Europa League regular.
In defence, we expect one change from the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in midweek. Harry Maguire should make his return to the starting XI after missing the Wednesday game due to suspension.
At the heart of the midfield, it could be Scott McTominay and Fred. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are likely to be rested with a view to the Premier League games ahead which are more crucial.
In attack, there is a good chance that Marcus Rashford and Antony could be rested. We fancy Facundo Pellistri and Alejandro Garnacho to take their places out wide with Bruno Fernandes in the number 10 role.
Wout Weghorst is expected to continue as the main striker with Anthony Martial nursing a leg injury. United could pursue another stop-gap forward before the transfer window closes next week.
Predicted Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1): Butland; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia; McTominay, Fred; Pellistri, Fernandes, Garnacho; Weghorst.
