Can’t see Howe missing it though, and think a few things will work in our favour.

Man Utd probably have the same issue as us, their central defense is slow (we miss Schar adding the pace to Burn’s presence), so at worst we’ll both have the same issue.

Joelinton has got to start, which immediately improves our midfield massively… and I’d have our midfield and forward line over theirs everyday of the week… so if we both have the same issue, then I’d bet on us to come out on top.

I think if we get after them from the first whistle to the last we’ll comfortably win.
