Manchester United host Watford in an FA Cup third-round tie at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Red Devils begin another cup campaign just days after they were knocked out of the League Cup, with a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the semi-final at Old Trafford.
Next week, United have two mammoth Premier League fixtures against Burnley and Liverpool. Victories in those matches could see Manchester United go six points clear of the defending champions in the standings.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to rotate his pack for this FA Cup game against Watford, with several fringe players set to get their opportunity to start.
Watford are currently sixth in the Championship standings, 10 points off leaders Norwich City with a game in hand.
In their last Championship match, they lost 2-1 to Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium. Tom Cleverley gave them the lead, but a brace from Jamal Lowe gave the Swans three points.
