Confirmed line-ups from Old Trafford

Manuel Ugarte is recalled to start in midfield while Casemiro keeps his place after getting on the scoresheet at the weekend. Bruno Fernandes captains Man Utd tonight and the Portuguese international supports Joshua Zirkzee in attack.

Marcus Rashford also keeps his place in the Man Utd side with Garnacho keeping his place on the left wing.

As for Leicester, they also rotate their squad with Oliver Skipp starting in midfield while Jordon Ayew gets a start in attack.
