Follow all of today's Football matches on our Live Match Centre

A week ago in Cyprus, Erik ten Hag'sHag's team had to come from behind as Marcus Rashford scored twice in the second half, but there were still some tense moments late.

United are currently in second place in Group E with six points, three points behind Real Sociedad, and cannot afford any more slip-ups before their trip to Spain in early November.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th career club goal in his team's victory over Everton last time out, and he'll be eager to add to that total if he continues to play in Europe as he has so far this season.

In last week's match, the Red Devils defeated the Cypriots by a score of 3-2, but the underdog visitors gave the 20-time English champions quite a scare.

The Red Devils have conceded nine goals in their last three games in all competitions, although defensive absences have played a vital role. However, the Red Devils have never lost three consecutive continental games at Old Trafford.

As for head-to-head stats, the clubs' meeting in Cyprus last week was their first ever in competitive football.

Manchester United predicted lineup

Anthony Martial will not play for Manchester United today as the forward has experienced a slow start to the season after earning his place in Erik ten Hag'sHag's squad with a strong preseason and was forced off with another injury in the 2-1 win at Everton.

Martial will now miss the group match and be evaluated before Newcastle'sNewcastle's visit.

Ronaldo should replace the injured Martial in the starting lineup and lead the attack against Omonia. The wide attackers should be Jadon Sancho and Antony, with Sancho replacing Marcus Rashford, who suffered a blow against Everton. Finally, Bruno Fernandes will resume his normal position at number 10.

Erik ten Hag has shown no propensity to rest David de Gea, so the Spaniard should continue to start over Martin Dubravka.

Probable lineup: De Gea, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; McTominay, Eriksen

Omonia FC predicted the lineup

Adam Lang, the centre-back for Omonia, is one yellow card away from suspension, but the Hungarian international is not in danger of losing his position in Lennon'sLennon's defence.

Panagiotou'sPanagiotou's goal in last week's matchup may not be enough to dislodge the more seasoned Hector Yuste, and Lennon was forced to substitute goalie Fabiano in the 57th minute against AEL; hence, Konstantinos Panagi should now start.

Probable lineup: Panagi, Loizou, Ansarifard, Bruno, Miletic, Lang, Yuste, Matthews, Charalampous, Diskerud, Lecjaks

Omonia FC vs Manchester United prediction

Although Omonia Nicosia demonstrated last week that Manchester United should not take them lightly and even forced Ten Hag to turn to the bench to complete the job against them, this should not be the case this week.

The Red Devils shouldn't encounter any difficulty against their opponent this week, especially if Lennon is without his first-choice goalie.

Final prediction: Omania FC 0-1 Manchester United
