HEAD TO HEAD
United tend to have the upper hand when the two sides face each other, winning 58, drawing 20 and losing 16.
The visitors came out on top 1-0 in this fixture last time out, thanks to a late goal from Lisandro Martinez.
United are without Martinez today due to injury, so someone else will need to be the hero today.

Whereas, the cottagers have only brought in back-up goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, whilst losing Carlos Vinicius and Willian, with Reiss Nelson returning to his parent club Arsenal.

AMORIM: WE ARE IMPROVING
"We are improving in that department also. We are creating more chances, so we are ready for any kind of game. The biggest improvement we had [vs Arsenal] was we didn't lose the ball so many times in the build-up. That was really good also for our team."
