Watford – pre-match summary

• Juraj Kucka is suspended for Watford after his red card before the international break.
• Kiko Femenia and Francisco Sierralta returned from injury before the break but the latter is now back on the sidelines after a recurrence of his hamstring injury.
• Nicolas Nkoulou made his full Watford debut against Arsenal before the break and should keep his place in defence here.
• Ozan Tufan is recovering from a leg injury and is a doubt here. His absence could cause a shift in formation to 4-4-1-1 with Joao Pedro coming in.
• Tom Cleverley, Joshua King and Ben Foster are all former Manchester United players.

Manchester United – pre-match summary

• After a dire performance against Manchester City before the break, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should really make wholesale changes.
• It's now or never for Donny van de Beek with the January transfer looming. If not now, then it's over for him.
• The same is true for Jesse Lingard but after he shared a post on social media of him playing for West Ham that ship has probably already sailed.
• Aaron Wan-Bissaka's poor recent form may prompt calls for Diogo Dalot to get a chance at right-back.
• Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial have watched from the stands of late but could come into contention here in a re-jig from Solskjaer.
• Scott McTominay insists he is now fine despite missing both Scotland games during the break with a throat infection.
• Fred's late return from Brazil could see him be the one to miss out in midfield if Van de Beek is finally given a rare start.
• Marcus Rashford pulled out of the England squad to work on his fitness but should be available this weekend.
• Luke Shaw missed England duty with concussion but should be available to start on Saturday.
• Edinson Cavani, Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba are all still missing for the away side. The latter is suspended but is now injured on top of that.
