Manchester United could have Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood available again after the pair joined in with training on Friday.

Forward Aaron Connolly returned for the Republic of Ireland over the international period but is a doubt again due to a bruised foot.

At the end of my tether
In the past I would have expected only a defeat but today I believe we can get something. Our form away is better and they are definitely inconsistent. I know that at their best they can trounce anybody, but will they?

Still 12 hours to kick off , (sigh) but I will spend Sunday in hope of at least one point .

Tricky one for Ole following the international break. They have their Europa 1/4 Final Thurs, followed by Spurs next Sunday. He’s got plenty of players with km in the legs being with their countries.

Last time out Moder scored against England and Trossard scored a couple. Our players score goals for fun. Looking forward to this one.

In my own strange world
I am looking forward to this one, logically we should lose, but football isn't always like that, if we can perform like we did at Liverpool and to a lesser extent Citeh, there is hope to come away from this one with at least a point, we owe United one from the debacle at the Amex. Fingers crossed for three points!

BT Sport tonight right? Does anyone know if you can pause live BT, and unpause about 30 mins later without accidentally discovering the score? Timing isn’t good for me tonight with little one’s bedtime.
