Following a disappointing loss to Sheffield United, Luton Town manager Edwards has found a silver lining in the absence of fresh injury concerns among his players. However, a quartet of athletes will still be sidelined for their upcoming match.
Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Mads Andersen (calf), and captain Tom Lockyer, who is in recovery, will be unavailable for the clash against the Red Devils. Additionally, new signing Daiki Hashioka will be given more time to acclimate to English football before being thrown into Premier League action.
Teden Mengi, who was fit enough for a place on the bench in the previous match, is expected to start against his former club, while Tahith Chong may also feature, competing with Andros Townsend for a spot in the lineup.
As for Manchester United, there are uncertainties surrounding the fitness of Luke Shaw, who was withdrawn at halftime in their win over Aston Villa as a precaution. The Red Devils boss remains optimistic about Shaw's availability, but fellow full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka (unspecified) and Tyrell Malacia (knee) are unlikely to feature. Anthony Martial (groin), Lisandro Martinez (knee), and Mason Mount (calf) are also sidelined.
Victor Lindelof may step in as an emergency solution in defense if Shaw is unavailable. However, barring any last-minute changes, the rest of the squad is expected to remain unchanged, with manager Ten Hag likely to stick with a winning formula, despite the absence of key players.
