Steve Bruce has already hinted at wholesale changes with Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin, Fabian Schar, Miguel Almiron, Jamal Lascelles and Christian Atsu all doubtful for tomorrow’s tie. With that in mind, we take a look at what the starting 11 could look like if Bruce decides to ring the changes:
5. CB: Paul Dummett
And that leaves Dummett, United's Man of the Match on Sunday. Due to the shortage in centre-backs, the reliable 27-year-old is most likely to start - and captain the side. Photo: Lintao Zhang
6. LB: Jetro Willems
It wouldn't be a surprise to see Matt Ritchie pushed further forward, so the Dutchman is the obvious replacement at left-back. Photo: Ian MacNicol
7. CM: Jonjo Shelvey
Shelvey stayed on the bench during the win against Tottenham. Given the miles Sean Longstaff and Isaac Hayden covered in the heat, it would be no surprise to see the pair rested. Photo: Alex Livesey
8. CM: Ki Sung-Yeung
Similar reasoning to Shelvey. Additionally, Ki has an opportunity to stake a claim in Bruce's starting XI having only appeared off the bench at Norwich City. Photo: Ian MacNicol
