Manchester United and CSKA Moscow go head-to-head this week.

Jose Mourinho of Manchester United reacts to a decision during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on December 2, 2017 in London, England.

Manchester United complete their Champions League group fixtures with a home match against Russian side CSKA Moscow on Tuesday evening, and only a massive capitulation will prevent Jose Mourinho’s side from reaching the knockout stages.

United are currently three points clear at the top of Group A and there needs to be an eight-goal swing, coupled with a FC Basel victory over Benfica, to knock Mourinho’s men out of the competition.

In short, United are not going to suddenly deliver the worst defensive display in their history, but they will be keen to put this game to bed as early as possible before focusing on the massive Premier League clash against Manchester City just a few days later.

As a result United will no doubt make changes for this clash, although Paul Pogba should start given that he is suspended for Sunday’s game.

Scott McTominay should be back in after impressing against Benfica and there may be a reshuffle of sorts at the back, with Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind returning.

With all that in mind here is how we expect United to line up for their latest European encounter in just under 24 hours:
