Michael Carrick is back in the starting XI after recovering from a slight muscular problem and captains the Reds, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a scorer in the last round against Wigan, returns from illness and Jesse Lingard starts out wide. Marcus Rashford comes in for midweek hat-trick hero Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Sergio Romero keeps his place in goal, while Matteo Darmian, Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young at the back.
