The Reds made changes for the Emirates FA Cup stalemate at Wolves on Saturday but appeared to pick up fresh knocks to Harry Maguire and Tahith Chong.

With the fixture congestion continuing due to next week's still-to-be-confirmed replay date against the Black Country side at Old Trafford, it leaves Ole with food for thought ahead of the chance to stop City reaching a third successive final in the League Cup as United aim to progress to Wembley to take on Leicester City or Aston Villa.

After the first leg at home, the Reds will travel to the Etihad Stadium, the scene of a wonderful 2-1 win in the Premier League last month, on 29 January.
