The talented trio of Johan Manzambi, John McGinn and Alysson will operate just ahead of them as part of Emery’s attack. All three of them need to combine well if the Villans are to secure all three points at the Theatre of Dreams this weekend. Emiliano Buendia, Ross Barkley and Ibrahim Mbaye will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if required. Attack Nicolas Jackson will lead the line for the West Midlands club up top. He would be keen on causing a lot of headaches for the Man United defenders this weekend. Tammy Abraham will have to be content with a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
