Paul Pogba serves the first of a three game ban following his red card vs. Arsenal last time out.
Phil Jones could recover for the hosts, however may not be risked given the upturn in form of Vincent Lindelof.

There are unlikely to be any surprises in Manchester City’s team here, meaning Gabriel Jesus may be on the bench.
