If at any point in the last 20 years Manchester United would be favored to beat Barcelona, it is now. And it is for a reason. Barcelona is in the years-long decline with Manchester United finally on the rise. The hosts are in the great form and can finally avenge the prior generations' failures against the Catalan giants.

The home side will be able to feature the strong XI for this clash. Despite Eriksen is out and Martial is doubtful, UTD will be able to pair Casemiro with Sabitzer in the defensive midfielders role with Fernandes organizing the play. Weghorst up front alongside Sancho and Rashford will be the attacking trident looking to find the back of the Stegen's net. Maguire is ruled out but his absence won't be felt as he hasn't providing quality lately.

The visitors will be without Ousmane Dembele and Pedri who are on the sidelines due to the injuries with Gavi serving his suspension. We can expect a cautious approach from both sides but once the goals start flowing in there won't be a stop to a quick attacks and dangerous opportunites. In this aspect, I see the United having better chances of coming on top and the odds pay handsomely.

The hosts are coming off the big 3-0 victory over Leicester City. Manchester were defeated only twice this season on the home turf and I expect their home-defeat count to remain at that number as they have been improving in all aspects. Their are highly motivated and are looking to seal the deal in this match and get an inch closer to the trophy.

I believe we will see a highly-entertaining clash with the Red Devils coming on the top. Good luck!

如果在过去20年的任何时候，曼联都被看好能击败巴萨，那么现在就是。这是有原因的。巴萨多年来一直在走下坡路，曼联终于崛起了。东道主的状态很好，最终可以为前几代人对加泰罗尼亚巨人的失败复仇。

主队将在这场比赛中派出强大的十一阵容。尽管埃里克森缺阵，马夏尔也不确定，但曼联将能够让卡塞米罗和萨比策搭档防守中场，而费尔南德斯则负责组织比赛。韦格斯特在前场与桑乔和拉什福德并肩作战，将成为寻找施特根球门后方的三叉戟。马圭尔被排除在外，但他的缺席不会让人感觉到，因为他最近没有提供高质量的比赛。

客队将失去奥斯曼·登贝莱和佩德里，他们由于受伤而缺席比赛，加维正在停赛。我们可以期待双方都采取谨慎的策略，但一旦进球开始，快速进攻和危险的机会就不会停止。在这方面，我认为曼联有更好的机会登顶，而且赔率很高。

东道主3:0大胜莱斯特城。曼彻斯特本赛季在主场只被击败了两次，我预计他们的主场失败数将保持在这个数字，因为他们在各方面都在进步。他们积极性很高，希望在这场比赛中取得胜利，离奖杯更近一步。

我相信我们将会看到一场非常有趣的与红魔的交锋。好运！
