United made a great start by winning in Paris and hammering Leipzig at home, leaving them needing four points from four games to qualify. They’re not there yet though, after a loss in Turkey before a home win against Basaksehir, then a defeat to PSG last time out.

As for Leipzig, they have alternated wins and defeats: beat Istanbul BB, lost at Old Trafford, a win then a defeat to PSG and finally the vital, late win in Turkey last week. Will the pattern continue?

United’s group is in the minority tonight. Remember when it used to be amazing and thrilling from first to last?! Miguel Delaney takes a look at the lost wonder of the group stage.

What’s needed for each team to go through? How can United top the group? And how on earth can super-rich PSG still go out?!

Looks as though Julian Nagelsmann is hoping for rotation and movement in the final third to cause United problems, rather than having a single focal point as his No. 9. He’ll be looking for plenty from Dani Olmo and Christopher Nkunku.

Leipzig XI: Gulacsi; Mukiele, Orban, Konate, Angelino; Haidara, Kampl, Sabitzer; Olmo, Nkunku, Forsberg

No margin for error tonight. Solskjaer goes with the back five and starts Greenwood with Rashford in attack.

United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Telles; Matic, McTominay; Fernandes; Rashford, Greenwood

Evening all! This is a proper all-or-nothing night, one of few remaining in the Champions League group stage.

Leipzig vs United is coming up, one or even both teams could end the night in the last 16…but the likelihood is that one will be in the Europa League instead. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of the dotted line at full-time.

The line-up tonight: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Alex Telles, Matic, McTominay, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford.

Paul Pogba is on the bench.
