Summary

Despite his recovery, manager Michael Carrick may opt to start Bryan Mbeumo in the attack. Defender Matthijs de Ligt is unlikely to play as he is not fully recovered. Mason Mount remains absent after a knock sustained in a recent friendly against Paris Saint-Germain. Sesko had a promising first season, finishing with 12 goals in 32 appearances.
