Arne Slot’s team smashed West Ham 5-0 last time and seem unstoppable at the moment, slicing through defences at will. The same cannot be said for their opponents, who slumped to yet another defeat, this time losing to Newcastle. Ruben Amorim is already under pressure, despite being just weeks into his new role at United. His side still look as disjointed as they did under his predecessor and were particularly poor in the first half against the Magpies.
Amorim will have captain Bruno Fernandes available once again, as he returns from suspension after being sent off against Wolves. That was the third time he has been dismissed this season. Joe Gomez is out for the hosts. With Ibrahima Konate also an injury doubt, we may see Jarell Quansah alongside Virgil van Dijk.
This match means everything to the fans. Find out out to watch below, and make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
