• McTominay – Manchester United have had an indifferent season so far. Erik Ten Hag’s side has not shown consistency. However, McTominay has stepped to the fore and been influential for the Red Devils. His six goals and one assist in 19 appearances underscore his importance to the team. He will be central to United’s gameplan on Tuesday.
• Ollie Watkins – Ollie Watkins has been a revelation for Unai Emery’s side. He has scored 14 times and had six assists in 24 appearances for Aston Villa. The striker’s movement, pressing, positioning, and fluidity in the final third will be a handful for the Manchester United defense.
