Posted by It’s time for Manchester United to face the beast it created!
Both teams have had comfortable campaigns in Europe so far. But the same cannot be said about their league season.
While Juventus has been flourishing in Italy, as usual, United has been struggling to stay even in the top 10.
Red Devils Coach Jose Mourinho was on the verge of being sacked before a turnaround victory against Newcastle United and a tough away draw against Chelsea saved his fortunes.
TEAM NEWS:
Man United's Nemanja Matic returned last time out despite missing Serbia’s matches with an ankle injury, while Luke Shaw was fit again at left-back after skipping England duty. Jesse Lingard is back in training but may find it difficult to force his way back in to the starting XI straight away. Antony Martial’s two goals against Chelsea could see him continue to keep Alexis Sanchez out of the starting line-up – though the Chilean could always replace Marcus Rashford on the opposite flank.
Juve's Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Old Trafford, having missed the last group game against Young Boys due to serving a one-match ban for his sending off in the first game. Emre Can is set to miss his own return to England, however, with the ex-Liverpool midfielder suffering from a thyroid problem. Paulo Dybala was not risked at the weekend after picking up a slight knock on international duty – though he did come off the bench for 20 minutes. The Argentine is set to start ahead of Juan Cuardrado at Old Trafford though. Douglas Costa is also available again after his injury and ban, while Sami Khedira could return in central midfield after his injury lay-off.
TEAM FORM:
Since beating Young Boys 3-0 in the first Champions League group game, Manchester United have won just one of their next six matches. That includes a penalty shoot-out defeat to Championship Derby in the EFL Cup after a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, a 3-1 loss at West Ham and the goalless draw with Valencia in their most recent Champions League game. Since then, they had to come from 2-0 down to beat Newcastle 3-2 at Old Trafford, and then came from behind thanks to Antony Martial’s double to lead at Chelsea at the weekend too – only to concede a 96th-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
Juventus' ten-match winning streak at the start of the new season was ended by Genoa last time out, but they remain unbeaten in 2018/19. Cristiano Ronaldo’s fifth of the season was cancelled out on a 1-1 draw at the weekend, but Juventus won their most recent away game – a 2-0 defeat of Udinese when Ronaldo and Rodrigo Betancur scored. That followed the 3-0 win in their most recent Champions League game, when Paulo Dybala scored a hat-trick in the home defeat of Young Boys.
POSSIBLE LINEUPS:
Manchester United (4-3-3): David de Gea; Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba; Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku, Antony Martial.
Juventus (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Joao Cancelo, Leonardo Bonucci, Medhi Benatia, Alex Sandro; Sami Khedira, Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi; Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Cristiano Ronaldo.
KEY STATS:
Manchester United 1-1 Juventus — Juventus are favourites to beat Manchester United and continue their unbeaten start to the season. However, I see this game ending in draw tonight.

KEY STATS:
- This will be the first meeting between Manchester United and Juventus since the second group stage of the 2002-03 UEFA Champions League.
- United had won both games (2-1 at home, 3-0 away).
- The honours, meanwhile, are even in the head-to-head battle, with both Manchester United and Juventus winning 5 games apiece in 12 meetings (D2).
- Juventus have lost just two of their last 23 Champions League group stage games (W14 D7), with none of those defeats coming at the hands of English opposition.
- Manchester United have kept a clean sheet in both of their Champions League games this season. On the two previous occasions they’ve kept a clean sheet in each of their first three, they’ve ended up reaching the final (2008-09 and 2010-11).
- Former Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has had a hand in all three of Manchester United’s Champions League goals this season (2 goals, 1 assist). This will be his first appearance against his former side.
Manchester United 1-1 Juventus — Juventus are favourites to beat Manchester United and continue their unbeaten start to the season. However, I see this game ending in draw tonight.
