The back four are Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven and Luke Shaw. Lisandro Martinez serves the last of his three-match suspension, while Matthijs de Ligt is still recovering from a back injury that has kept him out since November. Midfield and Attack Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro are once again the defensive midfield duo. Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad are the attacking midfielders, with Ben Sesko taking his place once again up front. The severity of Cunha’s injury is as yet unknown. Substitutes On the bench are Altay Bayindir, Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, Dorgu, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Mason Mount, Joshua Zirkzee, Shea Lacey.
