Academy players have been training with the first team this week and five teenagers have been added to the squad that has travelled to London.
Chido Obi, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone, Jack Moorhouse and Elyh Harrison are all in the matchday squad having never played in the Premier League before.
Obi, the 17-year-old who has been a revelation in the United academy since joining from Arsenal in October, scored a hat-trick in the FA Youth Cup win over Chelsea in midweek.
“I don’t want to say names,” said Amorim. “We have to be careful on that. We have problems this week, we called some young players to be in our training. We have some data evaluation. He is one of them.”
January signing Patrick Dorgu makes his first Premier League start, while Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen are ill.
