Luke Shaw, who has been absent since the match against Crystal Palace in August, was training as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.

Another defender, Axel Tuanzebe, also looks to be on the way back after pulling out of the draw with Liverpool during the warm-up.

Nemanja Matic is another Red who has been sidelined, but he could be available again soon. A return for the Serbian could be timely, as Scott McTominay did not train with his colleagues after picking up an ankle injury in our last fixture, the win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
