Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow, live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Premier League online

A couple of weeks ago, this match — falling, as it does, between Arsenal away and Manchester City at home — might have been one for the kids and the stiffs. But a loss to Basel a fortnight ago has kept the fixture alive. Just about. United don’t have to win. But if they lose by four goals, they’ll end up in second place. And if they lose by seven, assuming our maths is correct, then they’ll be out.

With this in mind, United have still made a few changes. David de Gea gets a rest after his heroics in north London, and Luke Shaw — remember him! — may get a start at left-back. It’d be nice Henrikh Mkhitaryan back in the fold as well. There’s definitely a brilliant player in there somewhere.
