I actually thought Llorente's hold up play was pretty poor against West Ham, he did most of his good play first time (although a lot of that was loose) and when he did try to hold it he lost possession, against a solid Man Utd backline I think he may get swamped, and would rather go for a fluid front three of Son, Alli and Eriksen they all have enough intelligence to slot in defensively wherever they are on the pitch and can break when needed.I think this will be the team that starts. Maybe dembele for winks. I do however think llorente should start. United are pretty strong at the back and llorentes size and psysicality is probably needed.
Like west ham, they will sit deep in defense and crosses are a good option. Looked light last 15 min against west ham without the big man in the box
