How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Manchester United

A strong, well-drilled team. Man Utd tend to win games in front of their own fans at Old Trafford by controlling midfield rather than overwhelming opponents.

Away, promoted this season

Coventry City

Still adjusting to the top flight, Coventry will probably defend in numbers on the road at Old Trafford and pick their moments to break.
