Manchester United return to Premier League action on Saturday after a difficult week on and off the pitch.
After defeat to relegation-threatened Everton in last weekend's early kick-off, Ralf Rangnick's side's Champions League hopes appear to be dangling by a thread. They are six points off fourth-placed Tottenham who find themselves in the last major European spot.
Norwich City are struggling at the bottom of the Premier League table. Dean Smith's side did receive some hope on Sunday when they beat fellow strugglers Burnley 2-0 at Carrow Road.

Here is the latest injury update from Carrington ahead of another crucial clash in the Premier League.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo was seen leaving the field at Everton with a gash to his right leg before his now infamous 'outburst' at Goodison Park. Despite the knock, the 37-year-old was able to play the full 90 minutes and is expected to be available for selection this weekend.
Raphael Varane
Muscular problems kept the Frenchman out of United's defeat to Everton on Saturday. It remains unclear when he will be fit to return. Speaking on Friday, April 8, Rangnick said: "Rapha is still injured, he will be missing for the game tomorrow."
Luke Shaw
Shaw is expected to be out for three weeks having had bolts removed from his calf. Coronavirus had kept Shaw out of action for a period of time before the international break.
He impressed with England during that time but only lasted 45 minutes against Leicester City. The former Southampton man is expected to miss the Norwich match.
Fred
The Brazilian had to be substituted in the first-half against Everton on Saturday. Following the match, Rangnick explained that he had been suffering problems with his hip flexor. It is expected that the midfielder will miss the visit of the Canaries and a return date is not yet known.
Scott McTominay
The Scottish midfielder missed the defeat to Everton due to a foot injury. Rangnick has been vague as to what exactly is wrong with McTominay's foot other than it being an issue with his sole. McTominay may be back for Norwich but a timescale has not been laid out for the midfielder's return.

Edinson Cavani
United's only long-term injury concern is Cavani. The Uruguayan picked up a calf problem against Chile during the international break.
Rangnick was pessimistic about a quick return for the veteran when asked on Friday, April 1. "According to the doctor, he will be out for a couple of weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks," he explained. "So we have to wait and see. That’s obviously bad news."
