Erik ten Hag has dropped Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Antony for Manchester United's encounter with Aston Villa.
United take on the in-form Villa on Sunday afternoon, hoping to bounce back from their midweek draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
That day Erik ten Hag’s men squandered a two-goal lead to claim just a point. Meanwhile Villa head into the match second in the form table, with their eyes firmly fixed on securing a European place.
United are unbeaten in 14 Premier League home games, the longest current run in the division, yet Unai Emery’s men have lost just one of their nine Premier League away games since the Spaniard’s arrival.

And below is the latest team news, ahead of a game that could be decisive in the Champions League fate of both teams.
Ten Hag has made two changes to the United team that drew with Tottenham in midweek.
Indeed, Tyrell Malacia has come in for Wan-Bissaka, which will allow Diogo Dalot to switch to right-back.
The other change comes with Marcel Sabitzer replacing Antony, which will likely mean a change of role for Bruno Fernandes.
Meanwhile Aston Villa are unchanged, with Leander Dendoncker being handed his fourth start in a row.
The full teams are:
Man Utd XI: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Shaw, Malacia, Casemiro, Eriksen, Sabitzer, Fernandes, Rashford, Sancho. Subs: Butland, Maguire, Martial, Fred, Antony, Weghorst, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka, Williams.
Aston Villa Xi: Martinez, A.Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno, Dendoncker, Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins. Subs: Olsen, Carlos, Traore, Chambers, Duran, Digne, Revan, O’Reilly, K.Young.
