This is a tense game, with Manchester United looking to end a poor run of form at home, while Ipswich Town are facing relegation. This article will give you an overview of the starting lineups for both teams and a prediction for a thrilling match.

Manchester United's expected starting lineup

Manchester United are facing a number of difficulties, especially in their search for home wins. After only picking up a point in a controversial draw against Everton, Ruben Amorim’s side still have major problems in attack. However, with some veteran players returning, United will be hoping to regain their form and take all three points.

Absent players:

Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez will continue to be absent for the rest of the season.

Mainstays like Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are also absent from this match.

Expected starting lineup:

Goalkeeper: Andre Onana

Defenders: Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire

Midfielders: Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu

Forwards: Zirkzee, Obi, Fernandes

MU will hope for the return of Christian Eriksen, Leny Yoro, and Manuel Ugarte to strengthen their squad and find victory at home again.

Ipswich Town's expected starting lineup

Ipswich Town are in crisis, with poor form and a squad missing several key players through injury. However, Kieran McKenna's side will have to fight hard to avoid falling into the relegation zone, especially when they travel to Old Trafford – a place they have not won since 1984.

Absent players:

Wes Burns will not play in this match due to a knee injury.

Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste will both be absent with calf and ankle injuries.

Expected starting lineup:

Goalkeeper: Palmer

Defenders: Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis

Midfielders: Morsy, Cajuste

Forwards: Philogene, Hutchinson, Szmodics, Delap

Ipswich Town will hope for the return of Conor Chaplin from a minor injury and the support of former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe to improve their defence.

Comments on the match

Manchester United will be desperate to end their winless streak at home in this game. However, they will be facing an Ipswich Town side desperate for a win to keep their hopes of staying up. Although Ipswich have been in poor form, they have a good record away from home, with 10 points from their away games.

Certainly, MU will not be able to easily win all three points if their attack does not improve their scoring ability. Players like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee need to find their form again if they do not want the team to continue to have difficulty scoring goals.

Predict the match results

Based on the assessment of the form and strength of the two teams, it can be predicted that Manchester United will win this match, but with a fairly close score. Predictions from leading football experts such as Sportsmole and WhoScore are all leaning towards a win for MU, but with the possible results being MU 3-1 or MU 2-0. However, a tense and dramatic match with a score of 3-2 for MU is also entirely possible.

This is an important match for both teams, especially Ipswich, who need a win to keep their hopes of staying in the league alive. Meanwhile, MU need points to maintain their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season, as the gap to the cup groups has increased to 12 points.
