Head To Head Record
This is only the second time these two teams are meeting each other and Manchester United will be hoping to put things right after their shock defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir earlier in the season.
Key Stats
Since their defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir earlier in November, Manchester United have managed to pick up two successive wins against Everton and West Brom. Although the win over the Baggies was far from convincing, it will have given them some much-needed confidence boost.
As for the away side, they are heading into this game on the back of two successive defeats against Instanbulspor and Besiktas. They have conceded six goals in their last two games and this will be a massive challenge for the visitors.
Prediction
Despite the loss in Turkey, Manchester United will be firm favourites to win here. They are heading into the game in much better form as well. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can make amends this time and the quality at their disposal suggests that they are likely to come out on top here.
