Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made changes with half an eye on Sunday’s Premier League game at home to Manchester City, but this is still a strong line-up.
Club captain Harry Maguire misses out with a slight injury and is not even on the bench. Juan Mata is tonight’s captain.
Tonight’s match kicks off at 7.45pm and is being broadcast on BT Sport in the UK.
