Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Manchester United

Man Utd are organised and hard to break down, and they usually get results at Old Trafford by winning the midfield.

Away · promoted

Coventry City

As a promoted club, Coventry will focus on keeping it tight on their trip to Old Trafford. Their best chances tend to come from corners, free kicks and quick breaks.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Man Utd name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Coventry score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
