Ruben Amorim to make three changes to his Man United side for visit to Leicester City
Ruben Amorim should have Chido Obi, Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte available for today’s Premier League match against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Ugarte was rested on Thursday despite being back in training, while Amorim said in the pre-match press conference that he is hoping Maguire will be fit for today’s game.
With Altay Bayindir still injured, Andre Onana is sure to be in goal.
The back three will be Maguire, De Ligt and Ayden Heaven, with Victor Lindelof coming in for Maguire if he doesn’t make it.
Leny Yoro is still injured, as are Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw.
Noussair Mazraoui will be needed at wing-back as Patrick Dorgu completes his three-match suspension.
We think Ugarte will return in midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes, with Casemiro dropping to the bench.
Toby Collyer is another option but Kobbie Mainoo is still injured.
Amorim may elect to play the same front three that he did against Arsenal, with Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen supporting Josh Zirkzee, and with Rasmus Hojlund dropping to the bench.
Amad is out until the end of the season. Mason Mount is back in training and Amorim said he should make the bench.
Our predicted bench would therefore be Elyh Harrison, Dermot Mee, Victor Lindelof, Harry Amass, Casemiro, Collyer, Mount, Hojlund and Obi.
The full predicted starting line-up is as follows:
Kick off is at the unusual time of 7pm GMT.
