Manchester United still sit top of Champions League Group H going into the final round of matches in the group stage, but with two other teams on 9 points, the Reds could either win the group, finish second, or drop out of the competition altogether. United’s opponents on Tuesday, RB Leipzig, also sit on 9 points, but — because of their head-to-head record against United and Paris Saint-Germain — need to win at home to qualify for the knockout stages. Even though United demolished Leipzig to the tune of 5 goals in the reverse fixture, no one is expecting a repeat of that result in Germany.
United are without some key players for the trip to Germany. Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani picked up injuries over the weekend, and both strikers failed to recover in time. Fred is also unavailable because of suspension, after picking up a red card against PSG last week. Luke Shaw has recovered from injury however, giving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer some much needed tactical flexibility with the Englishman’s ability to play as a center-back in a back 3 as well.
