by Ruben Amorim will hope to take his first win of the season on Wednesday when Manchester United Grimsby Town visits to open her Carabao Cup campaign.
The match offers the Portuguese a selection puzzle. Ideally, he would turn against a lower opposition, but after a slow start to the Premier League season, he was able to call a stronger squad as an explanatory victory.

An overwhelming 1-1 draw in Fulham lasted the last time the confidence in the side, and a victory against Liga Two Grimsby could help bring her to song.
Amorim invested around £ 200 million in strengthening his attack this summer, but after none of his new additions to the first two Premier League excursions found the back of the network. You need more time to gel and could do this in this cup tie.
In addition to Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes could return to a more advanced position than No. 10, with Benjamin Sesko made his full debut in front of them.

The Slovenia international is under the pressure to start after moving from RB Leipzig and takes a lot of time in place when he looks into bed.

Fernandes, which sits higher, will open the door so that Kobbie Mainoo can fit in. Amorim said the weekend that the few minutes started and he should get the chance to impress here.
An early -circular cup trip always serves as a good opportunity to see young people in action. Tyler Fredricson was left on the bench for the Fulham match, but could have a chance on Wednesday.
Altay Bayindir seems to have established himself as No. 1 of the club in the league, but he could fall when he supposedly removed a deduction from the club. Andre Onana would be the natural replacement.
Nussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez are still the only injury concerns for Amorim.
