Manchester United are in need of change when they face Real Betis, and it seems certain there will be some after their Anfield annihilation.
Erik ten Hag might well be tempted to field the same side that lost so heavily against Liverpool at the weekend, so they can put things right, but no player can complain if they find themselves dropped.
United's options are limited somewhat given they don't have a plethora of senior players available to come into the side for a game of such magnitude, though there are some positions where they have such a luxury.

The most obvious is at right-back. Diogo Dalot was lucky to keep his starting role against Liverpool after performing poorly in the Carabao Cup final, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka was unfairly overlooked after his recent resurgence.
Last week, Ten Hag admitted it was 'very close' between his two candidates for the right-back role, and the fact he chose Dalot for a cup final and a trip to Anfield confirmed he was leading the way.
That pendulum surely must have swung back in the direction of Wan-Bissaka after such an abject performance from his rival, and perhaps this was Ten Hag's plan all along.
He deserves huge credit for bringing the best out of the former Crystal Palace man in 2023, but if he dropped Wan-Bissaka to prove to him how good he had to be to keep his place, then it has certainly backfired.
It's understandable why Dalot was rewarded with a Wembley start, given how well he started the season, but places should be decided on form, and that was certainly not the case against Liverpool.
Wan-Bissaka was one of those players who was surplus to requirements last summer, but was not an appealing option to any suitor as United looked to recoup as much of the £50million they spent on him in the first place.
The 25-year-old is still not performing at a level high enough for such a valuation, though he has certainly proven he still has lots to offer and has made a case for that to be at Old Trafford.
United are still considering a move for a new right-back as part of their ongoing rebuild, which means at least one of those already at the club will need to be moved on.
It had seemed certain Dalot would be the one to stay with Wan-Bissaka sold, and while that is still the most likely outcome, there is an argument to flip it on its head instead.
The Portuguese was bordering on world-class form earlier in the season, but even then there was still some marked room for improvement. It begs the question, if he has still not performed consistently as a complete full-back in nearly five years at the club, is he really worth persisting with going forward?
It is the same argument against Wan-Bissaka too, who was a clear improvement on what they had when he arrived but stagnated and regressed before his resurgence following the World Cup.
There are clear concerns regarding both full-backs with regard to their long-term suitability at the club, though with a limited budget there is only room to replace one of them this year.
That decision will in part be influenced by what type of full-back Ten Hag wants to add to his squad, though there is an expectation they will target one in the modern mould who almost acts as an additional playmaker in possession.
It means they will then need to decide whether it is better to have Dalot as a slightly similar understudy in the side, offering a more like-for-like replacement, or whether it is better to keep Wan-Bissaka as a completely different option, one better suited to the defensive side of the game.
There is an argument for either of those decisions to be made, though there is no argument over the fact they need a new right-back altogether.
United are in need of an immediate change at right-back; they might need a permanent one too.
