No ddg, cavani, rash, pogba, shaw (not confirmed) as well as mata and donny.
AC missing a few as well bit of a test of the squads tonight.

{Ed077's Note - AC Milan are missing even more important players TBF. Lets see who copes better.}

Any suggested/ predicted line ups for tonight?

GK - Henderson
RB - AWB
CB - Lindelof and Maguire
LB - Telles
CM - McFred
CAM - Bruno
LW - James
RW - Greenwood
CF - Martial

That's what I predict we will come out like, however I'd prefer to play Greenwood up top and Diallo on the RW. That would be a very pacey front 3 to attack Milan, with a lot of energy and movement, which playing Martial doesn't give us.

Rashford and Shaw are the big misses out of those players.

There is an argument that Henderson and DDG are very close in current ability. Cavani is an odd one, while we often look better when he plays the number of injuries he has had makes it hard to say he is categorically first choice. Pogba has often lined up out wide for us as he can't hold down a spot centrally. Mata and Donny are squad players and have had limited impact on the first 11 this season.

Greenwood, Martial and James as the front three wouldn't be awful. With Bruno in behind them. Fred and McTominay are the first choice midfield. AWB, Lindelof and Maguire means we have 3 of our first choice back 4. While Alex Telles coming in at LB is hardly a massive downgrade on Shaw.

AC Milan however will be missing Zlatan, Calhanoglu, Hernandez, Mandzukic and Rebic due to injury. While Dalot cannot play against us. Five of their first 11 missing.

I think Milan are much harder hit by injuries than we are currently.

{Ed077's Note - "While Dalot cannot play against us." where did you find this out? Last I heard loan players could play against their parent club in European competition. Its the rules in the PL that doesnt allow that to happen}

Ed077, I am under the impression that we included a clause in his loan agreement that means the club need to give permission for him to play against his parent club.

{Ed077's Note - cant confirm or deny that. Well we will find out in a few hours time lol:)}

I believe BBC Sport have said he is able to play against us tonight! Thought it was odd but who knows.

You can't put that clause in.

{Ed077's Note - I thought the same.}

Not in Europe you can't anymore only domestic.

Guess what I heard was wrong then.
Henderson, AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Telles, Matic, McTominay, Greenwood, Bruno, James, Martial.

Shaw makes the bench alongside Grant, Bishop, Tuanzebe, Lindelof, Williams, Fred, Diallo and Shoretire.

Four defenders, 2 keepers, 1 midfielder and two youth forwards.

We don't have a huge amount of fire power to bring on to change things if needed from the bench.

Hopefully we get magical Martial tonight and not mundane Martial.

Telles aside the rest start regularly enough. Hope we get a chance to see the amad and shoretire if the game allows.
Also a chance to rest a couple before the weekend.
