Manchester United's Europa League journey continues in Austria as the Red Devils face LASK amid the spread of coronavirus.
Thursday's round-of-16 first leg is due to be one of the biggest games in the history of LASK, but their fans will not be able to enjoy it in person.
The match will be played behind closed doors due to the spread of Covid-19 virus, which has now been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.
Playing in an empty stadium will add a surreal aspect to the game, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want his side focussed as they attempt to go all the way in this competition to qualify for next season's Champions League.
United are on a role having gone unbeaten in 10 matches, and last weekend's Manchester derby win should have them full of confidence.
Date: Thursday, 12 March, 2020
Venue: Linzer Stadion, Linz, Austria
Kick-off time: UTC 2020/03/12 17:55
Predicted line-ups:
Team News
Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka did not travel with the Manchester United squad to Austria for Thursday's Europa League match.
With Dalot and Wan-Bissaka unavailable, Axel Tuanzebe may have to fill in at right-back against LASK. This would be Tuanzebe's first appearance in 2020.
Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Lee Grant are also still sidelined for the away side, though Pogba is closing in on a return from a long-term ankle problem.
This tie is sandwiched between the Manchester derby, which United won, and a reunion with former manager Jose Mourinho at Tottenham. Expect Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to shuffle his pack from the side that started last weekend.
Scott McTominay and Sergio Romero will certainly return to the starting XI in Austria. Eric Bailly, Juan Mata, Odion Ighalo and Mason Greenwood will also be considered for starts.
Bruno Fernandes has already faced LASK in the competition this season. He scored once and registered an assist in a 2-1 home win for Sporting CP.
Predictions:
LASK 1-2 Man Utd
