Victor Lindelof has been ruled out of the Partizan game with a back injury and joins the injury list of Pogba, Bailly, Dalot, Fosu-Mensah and Luke Shaw. David de Gea is likely to take a break with Romero looking for another clean sheet in the Europa League. Brandon Williams will hope to continue his good form in cup competitions in Ashley Young’s place and Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard will hope for rare starting positions and try and push for the no.10 spot for Brighton.
