Preview

Manchester United are nine games without a win and have scored just three goals in their last six, losing 2-0 at Chelsea on Saturday with Lisandro Martínez sent off. Michael Carrick says he will be in charge on Tuesday, but the pressure is real, and so is the injury list: striker Benjamin Sesko is out for months, Patrick Dorgu is missing until late November, and Amad Diallo is a doubt after going off at Chelsea. Roma are flying in Serie A, third after a 5-2 win at Udinese, with 21 goals in six games. They are hurting too, though. Keeper Mile Svilar is out with a toe fracture, so Gollini stays in goal, Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini are injured, and Gasperini says Paulo Dybala will struggle to be ready. United have three points from three games and Roma four, so both need a result. The injuries take something off both attacks, and United have barely been scoring. We rate this close, with United at 40% and Roma at 32%, and lean to the goal line: under 3.5 goals at 59%.
