Roberto Firmino vs Bastian Schweinsteiger
With Philippe Coutinho suspended for this clash after picking up two yellow cards against West Ham United last time out, his compatriot Firmino will likely be handed the task of being their chief creator at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian is yet to find his feet in English football since his arrival in the summer, but playing in his more favoured central role should enable him cause United problems with his creativity and the German international captain will have to be on his toes to nullify the threat of the Reds no.11.
