Head to head

The two sides have met 106 times before, with United winning 46 matches, Derby 31, and the teams sharing 29 draws.

United and Derby have not met in the league since 2008, but have played five cup games since then - the last being a 2-0 FA Cup win for United at Old Trafford last season.

Team news

Mourinho will still be without Marcus Rashford as the forward serves the final match of a three-game domestic ban, though Nemanja Matic is back in contention after completing his own one-match suspension.

Marcos Rojo is still likely to be out, while Ander Herrera is a doubt for the Red Devils.

Mourinho could ring the changes after Saturday's disappointing draw against Wolves, with the likes of Anthony Martial, Juan Mata, Scott McTominay and Diogo Dalot all set for a chance to impress.
