FRIDAY'S GAME
- HULL
Hull boss Mike Phelan is expected to choose from the same squad. Phelan, who has no new injury or suspension worries, named an unchanged starting line-up for the Boxing Day defeat to Manchester City and must decide whether to freshen things up. Goalkeeper Allan McGregor has returned to training following summer back surgery, but Abel Hernandez (groin) is still out and fellow striker Will Keane and defender Moses Odubajo (both knee) remain long-term absentees.
Provisional squad: Marshall, Jakupovic, Elmohamady, Maguire, Dawson, Davies, Robertson, Huddlestone, Livermore, Henriksen, Mason, Clucas, Snodgrass, Mbokani, Diomande, Meyler, Maloney, Weir, Bowen.

Midfielder James McCarthy (hamstring) is also still unavailable, as is full-back Bryan Oviedo (unspecified), while Yannick Bolasie and Muhamed Besic are both out of action due to long-term knee injuries.

Midfielder Adnan Januzaj is available after being ineligible against his parent club, while full-back Javier Manquillo and Jack Rodwell (both hamstring) and fellow midfielder Steven Pienaar (calf) have returned to training, but Lee Cattermole (hip), Lynden Gooch (ankle), Paddy McNair and Duncan Watmore (both knee) are still out.

- MAN UNITED
Wayne Rooney will again be missing. A thigh injury ruled Rooney out against Sunderland on Boxing Day and while there is no definitive timescale on his return, Mourinho confirmed he will be missing against Boro. Fellow England international Luke Shaw (groin) is back in training, though Mourinho does not yet consider him fit enough to start games again.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Valencia, Fosu-Mensah, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Bailly, Darmian, Blind, Young, Fellaini, Carrick, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Ibrahimovic.

Barragan collected his fifth booking of the season at Burnley on Boxing Day and must serve a one-match ban, and midfielders Marten de Roon and Adam Clayton will suffer the same fate if they receive yellow cards at Old Trafford in the final game before the disciplinary deadline.

- WEST BROM
West Brom boss Tony Pulis could make changes. Jonny Evans is nursing a minor thigh injury and will be assessed with Pulis unwilling to risk his players ahead of Monday's visit of Hull. Despite two games in 48 hours, Saido Berahino will not be included as he continues to regain fitness following three months out having been deemed overweight by the club.
Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Palmer, Dawson, Evans, Nyom, Olsson, McAuley, Galloway, Brunt, Fletcher, Yacob, Gardner, Morrison, McClean, Chadli, Phillips, Field, Rondon, Leko, Robson-Kanu.

The Ecuador winger was carried off in the 4-1 Boxing Day defeat to West Ham which marked the end of Bob Bradley's short-lived reign. Apart from Montero, caretaker boss Alan Curtis has a full squad to choose from with Wales defender Neil Taylor having recovered from the groin injury which forced him to sit out the Hammers game.
Provisional squad: Fabianski, Rangel, Van der Hoorn, Mawson, Fernandez, Taylor, Britton, Cork, Barrow, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Llorente, Nordfeldt, Naughton, Kingsley, Fernandez, Amat, Fulton, Fer, Dyer, Borja, McBurnie.

- LIVERPOOL
Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho will not be fit enough to feature. The Brazil international has been out for over a month with ankle ligament damage and will not be rushed back. A bigger blow ahead of the visit of Pep Guardiola's side is the continued absence of centre-back Joel Matip, who is set to sit out his fourth successive match because of an ankle injury.
Provisional squad: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Origi, Firmino, Karius, Moreno, Alexander-Arnold, Lucas, Can, Ejaria, Sturridge, Woodburn.

Manchester City's top scorer Sergio Aguero returns from a four-match suspension. Defender John Stones could also be fit to feature after limping off during the first half of the Boxing Day win at Hull. Midfielder Leroy Sane is still out with the knock that forced him to miss the Hull game while Vincent Kompany (knee) also remains on the sidelines.
Provisional squad: Bravo, Caballero, Zabaleta, Sagna, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, Adarabioyo, Clichy, Kolarov, Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, Sterling, Navas, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Nolito, Garcia, Aguero, Iheanacho.
