Jonjo Shelvey has been sidelined since the middle of last month with a hamstring problem.

However, the midfield is close to a comeback, and Lascelles, speaking ahead of Saturday’s home game, said: “Hopefully, Jonjo’s fit."

United are 14th in the Premier League after back-to-back losses.

Lascelles told NUFC TV: “We’ve got a little run where I think we can really put points on the board.”
