The Reds take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday (17:30 GMT), aiming for a 12th straight victory over the East Midlands side - and a fifth in this calendar year alone.
Boosted by the superb comeback win against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, Ten Hag will be hoping for another positive result to close out December.
Luke Shaw and Sofyan Amrabat missed the victory over the Villans through minor issues and it seems as though the pair will also be sidelined for this encounter, with Ten Hag suggesting that no injured players would be ready to return to the matchday squad.
