Romelu Lukaku starts at the apex of the 4-3-3, flanked by Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez.

Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Nemanja Matic start in midfield while David de Gea has a back-four of Young, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof and Antonio Valencia in front of him.
The Hornets are favourites to clinch three points and will fear no-one after their surprise, but deserved win over Tottenham Hotspur. With four wins from four, they’ll seek to make it five from five and it remains to be seen if United are truly out of the woods.
Jose Mourinho’s men did turn things around against Burnley but this Watford unit is a different beast and winning at Vicarage Road will be difficult indeed.
Watford: Foster, Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyara, Gray and Denen (C).
Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Valencia (C), Matic, Fellaini, Pogba, Sanchez, Lingard and Lukaku.
Match kicks off at 2200 IST.
