Manchester United travel to the City Ground for the first time in over two decades in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
The Reds go into the game after suffering a 3-2 defeat against Arsenal. Erik ten Hag will demand a better performance this time out and a win to put United in a strong position ahead of the second leg.
Ten Hag has made a few changes to his starting eleven to face Nottingham Forest.
David de Gea starts between the posts behind a defence consisting of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.

Casemiro returns from suspension and will be expected to carry out all the dirty work in midfield. That will allow Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes to pull the strings in the final third.
It will be up to Marcus Rashford, Antony and Weghorst in attack to provide the goals.
As things stand, United are favourites to win the Carabao Cup this season.
