All injury and suspension updates provided here are based on the latest information on PremierInjuries.
Carrick will be without a few names, particularly in midfield where his options are looking somewhat light. Carlos Baleba and Manuel Ugarte are both set to miss this one, leaving him with fewer options in the pivot after a Champions League game in midweek, rotation will be tough but could be necessary.
Amad Diallo, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw, and Tom Heaton are also injured or doubts, affecting depth across the field for the manager.

The Last Word
Maresca has a very even record against the Red Devils as a coach, having one win, one draw, and one loss against them from his time in charge of Chelsea. All signs do point to a win here for the Cityzens who have won every game since the Community Shield, but their manager has struggled against this particular opposition in the past.
