MUN vs LEP Dream11 Prediction Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups

A) Manchester United Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that there are no new injuries. Eric Bailly, Jesse Lingard and Phil Jones will all continue to miss out on the action with injuries.

Doubtful starters: Solskjaer has said that a few players have picked up knocks but has not mentioned any names which suggest there will be squad rotation. Scott McTominay got substituted after picking up a knock but is fit to start.

Expected changes: United played a 3-5-2 against Paris Saint-Germain but reverted back to a 4-2-3-1 against Chelsea. They should play a 3-man defence against Leipzig, with Alex Telles making it back to the lineup. Axel Tuanzebe may get a call-up after his superb performance against PSG. Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek are set to make the bench again after Fred and Scott McTominay’s great defensive display. Edinson Cavani might get the nod ahead of the out-of-form, Anthony Martial.

MUN Playing 11 (probable):
David de Gea (GK)
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Victor Lindelof
Harry Maguire
Luke Shaw
Alex Telles
Fred
Scott McTominay
Bruno Fernandes
Marcus Rashford
Edinson Cavani

B) Red Bull Leipzig Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Julian Nagelsmann has some injury concerns with defenders Marcel Halstenberg, Lukas Klostermann and Nordi Mukiele all confirmed absentees. They will also be without midfielders Tyler Adams, Konrad Laimer and Amadou Haidara as well.

Doubtful: RB Leipzig has no doubtful players.

Expected changes: Julian Nagelsmann might have to consider a change in formation to accommodate all the injuries. Benjamin Henrichs will replace Nordi Mukiele and Ibrahima Konate will most likely take Lukas Klostermann’s place. Leipzig may shift to a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 formation with Yussuf Poulsen, Daniel Olmo and Emil Forsberg spear-heading the attack. Christopher Nkunku, Kevin Kampl and Marcel Sabitzer are likely to play in a midfield 3 in MUN vs LEP Dream11 Team Prediction.

MUN vs LEP Today Match Prediction Football Match 

This game is tough to call with Paddy Power and Coral both placing Manchester United’s odds at 2.30 and RB Leipzig at 3.00. These are good odds because Leipzig goes into this game as the favourites with their run of form. Manchester United have had good results this season but have been largely inconsistent which can be a problem and are yet to win a home league game. Julian Nagelsmann’s side is a very well-oiled tactical machine and will press the United team very well. However, their injuries in midfield and defence will pose an opportunity to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men. With the PSG game going their way and two relatively easy games coming up in Istanbul Basakshehir, Manchester United will be happy with a draw against Leipzig. Check out our MUN vs LEP Dream11 Match Prediction.

MUN vs LEP Dream11 Teams Captain options, Differential Picks 

Captain Options – 

Manchester United – 

Bruno Fernandes – Bruno Fernandes has had a brilliant time at Manchester United so far with 16 goals and 11 assists so far. He also has the most number of key passes in the Premier League with 18. Bruno scored the winner against Brighton in the league and scored the opening goal against PSG. He has 4 goals and 3 assists in 7 games this season.

Marcus Rashford – Rashford has 4 goals and 2 assists in just 6 starts this season. He also scored the winning goal against PSG and has created 10 chances whilst providing 8 key passes. 88% of his shots are on target which will be crucial against RB Leipzig.

Edinson Cavani – Cavani’s experience will be perfect to take on a tactical side like RB Leipzig. With 341 goals and 65 assists, he will be a menace to the Leipzig defence. He got his United debut as a substitute against Chelsea but will be eyeing for a start now. With 200 goals for PSG, Cavani should be one of the first names on the team sheets.

RB Leipzig –

Yussuf Poulsen – Yussuf Poulsen has kicked off this season with 2 goals and an assist so far, averaging a goal every 84 minutes. He has also provided 4 key passes and created 5 chances. He has also completed 5 dribbles so far and will want to increase those number against United.

Differential Picks – 

Alex Telles – Alex Telles will start at left-wing-back and made his debut against PSG. He was excellent against them and created more chances (3) than any other player on the pitch despite playing just 67 minutes. He also had 3 successful crosses which will pose a great opportunity to Cavani. He scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in 3 games for Porto before moving to United.
