Hide AdPlaying more than 80 minutes with 10 men is hardly good preparation for the United clash, but Ange Postecoglou’s men will be desperate to improve on their poor start to the season, currently sitting 10th on seven points, with this weekend’s opponents United only behind them on goal difference. Here we take a look at the injury news surrounding both teams.
Tyrell Malacia - Out
A knee has kept Malacia out since the end of the 2022/23 season. He continues to work towards a return, not expected back until late October or November.
Victor Lindelof - Doubt
Lindelof has been back in training having recovered quicker than expected. He could be in contention here.

Hide AdLuke Shaw - Out
Shaw is expected to return some time in October. Ten Hag has said: "I think it's probably, but I can't say it's 100 per cent sure. The plan is just be back before but, as I say I can't say this for 100 per cent for sure it can be short after the break." Shaw has a calf issue.
Leny Yoro - Out
Yoro fractured a metatarsal and required surgery. He will be out until late November to early December.
Richarlison - Out
Postecoglou has said: “Richarlison is a fair way off. He’s not close to returning yet. You're better off not asking about him until I give an update because he's not with the first team.”

Heung-min Son - Doubt
Son pulled up during the Qarabag clash and had to be brought off. Postecoglou said afterwards: “I haven't spoke to him. He said he felt a bit tired, but I haven't spoken to him or the medical team yet.”
