Predicted Lineups
Assuming Jones slots in alongside Smalling and Blind moves to the left, the big decisions for Van Gaal are in midfield. If Sunderland plump for a midfield featuring Yann M'Vila and Lee Cattermole, then the physical presence of Morgan Schneiderlin could be helpful.

Bastian Schweinsteiger played 90 minutes against Ispwich, and with the Champions League game against Wolfsburg coming up, he could be rested for the start of this one. Michael Carrick could also be in contention here. However, the line-up above chooses Ander Herrera, as Carrick and Schweinsteiger would then be set for a European start.

Up front, there remains the possibility that Anthony Martial could be rested, but that would be a tremendous disappointment to United fans hoping to see him in action again. There is also the possibility Antonio Valencia will retain the right-back spot, having been brought on for Darmian at half-time against Southampton and kept the place against Ipswich. However, with defensive resources spread thinly, bringing the natural right-back into the side would seem a wise move.

The movement of Martial and Memphis Depay could see Advocaat elect to play Sebastian Coates over the experienced but perhaps less mobile partnership of Younes Kaboul and John O'Shea. O'Shea could be selected here as a result of the years he spent with United—both in terms of playing at Old Trafford and for his big-game nous.

At left-back, Advocaat has conceded that DeAndre Yedlin could provide competition for misfiring Patrick van Aanholt. Elsewhere, the creativity of Jordi Gomez could be preferred to the industry of Cattermole in the centre of the park, and if Jermain Defoe is not fit to play, then Fabio Borini, Steven Fletcher or Danny Graham could get a game. Borini could also be preferred to one of the three behind the striker, though the above line-up seems a decent bet.

Players to Watch
Martial is the man of the moment for United, so assuming he plays, he will be well worth watching. Wayne Rooney took his goal well against Ipswich, and United fans will be hoping he opens his Premier League account for the season on Saturday.
United's vulnerability could be in their reshaped back four, although David De Gea was in spectacular form against Southampton.

While Sunderland have undoubtedly struggled, they do have players who can damage United if the Red Devils get complacent. Adam Johnson, M'Vila, Jeremain Lens and Ola Toivonen are all averaging a key pass per league game or better.

Key Battle

Assuming recent history is any guide, the key battle will be United's struggle to turn possession into goals and avoid conceding in those relatively rare moments when they do not have the ball. With nine goals in their last three domestic games, the worst of United's bluntness seems over, largely thanks to the remarkable impact of Martial.

Sunderland's centre-backs will have to be at their best to contain the red-hot youngster, and United have plenty of players who can capitalise on any space he creates for them.
On the counter-attack, the pace of Johnson could be an issue for Blind if he is played at left-back, meaning that could be an area in which Sunderland get some joy.

Manchester United are hoping to continue their solid start to the new Premier League season when they host winless Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday. Louis van Gaal's men go into the game on the back of victories over Southampton in the league and Ipswich Town in the League Cup. They sit second in the table, just two points adrift of rivals Manchester City, who face a tricky trip to play Tottenham on the same day. Anthony Martial will be hoping to continue his excellent start at United against Sunderland. The French teenager has scored four goals in as many games, while Wayne Rooney is still looking to net for the first time in the league this season, although he did claim the opener against Ipswich on Wednesday. The omens do not look good for Sunderland. A dreadful start to the campaign has seen them pick up two points from six matches and they suffered a humbling 4-1 home defeat to Manchester City in the League Cup on Tuesday. Their last 26 Premier League meetings with United have only produced one victory and they have won just one of their last 14 league away games. Despite coming into the game on the back of a brutal defeat by City, former United stalwart John O'Shea is relishing the challenge of travelling to Old Trafford and pitting himself against Martial, who is looking to become the first United player to net in his first three Premier League appearances. "People might accept that we conceded four against City, but we can't because we have to start getting results. We have to make sure we get clean sheets because they generally lead to wins," he said. "Whatever problems we are having, it is only on the training ground where you can work on things and get things right. We need to make sure we don't make the mistakes if we want to help ourselves. It is the back four, the goalkeeper, the front unit, it is everything. "We were unfortunate against City, but we have to go to Old Trafford now, knowing United had a good result against Southampton. We have to go there and cause problems. "Look, after [facing Sergio] Aguero it is Martial, but that is what we want. That is why you stay in the Premier League, you want to test yourselves against these boys and we want that to continue. "Dick Advocaat is doing everything he can. He is hoping he can get us out onto the pitch, get more positives and start to win as quickly as possible. We need it." Long-term absentee Luke Shaw (broken leg) is out for United, who will also check on Marcos Rojo (hamstring) and Paddy McNair (knock) after both defenders missed the 3-0 win over Ipswich. For the visitors, Younes Kaboul is back in contention after serving a one-match ban against City following his red card in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth.
