For the second time in four days, Manchester United will make the trip down south for another game against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Last weekends early kick-off encounter was, as per with United, not short of drama. Manchester United saw two goals ruled out by VAR before scoring the winner after (yes, after) the full-time whistle had gone.
Solskjær is expected to name a much changes starting eleven from the one which earned United their first three points on Saturday.
Victor Lindelöf retained his place in the league despite heavy criticism and Wednesday’s game at the Amex will give Eric Bailly another chance to prove himself.
In the third round against Luton, Solskjær made 10 changes from the previous team in the league and it expected that the Norwegian will allow most of the first-team regulars to rest ahead of Sunday’s game against José Mourinho’s Tottenham.
The 3-2 win over Brighton five days ago will however have alerted Solskjær – Graham Potters side dominated his side and he will be wary of their threat. The Carabao Cup is a competition there to be won and the manager won’t want to field a fully weakened team.
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Henderson; Fosu-Mensah, Bailly, Maguire, Williams; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, Van de Beek, Mata; Ighalo
Bench: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandes
