Man Utd preview: Sesko to return?
Benjamin Sesko could come back into the Man Utd starting XI here at the expense of Mason Mount, with the Slovenian looking to build on two goals from his last two league starts. Leny Yoro will also be pushing for a recall to the defence, but it will be difficult to drop Harry Maguire after his heroics at Anfield.

Player to watch: Matheus Cunha
