Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Champions League Group F meeting between Manchester United and Villarreal at Old Trafford!
It's just four months on from these sides' meeting in the Europa League final, which finished 1-1, with Villarreal triumphing 11-10 on penalties to lift the trophy. United started their Champions League campaign with a shock 2-1 defeat to Young Boys, and have won just one of their three games since, losing the last two outings 1-0. Villarreal, on the other hand, drew 2-2 with Atalanta last time out in the competition and remain unbeaten this season. They've won just once in all competitions though (4-1 v Elche), drawing the other seven.
MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Alex Telles; Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho; Cristiano Ronaldo.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Anthony Elanga, Dean Henderson, Anthony Martial, Eric Bailly, Edinson Cavani, Fred, Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard, Tom Heaton.
VILLARREAL STARTING XI (4-3-3): Geronimo Rulli; Juan Foyth, Raul Albiol, Pau Torres, Alberto Moreno; Daniel Parejo, Etienne Capoue, Manu Trigueros; Yeremi Pino, Paco Alcacer, Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld.
VILLARREAL SUBS: Mario Gaspar, Aissa Mandi, Vicente Iborra, Nikita Iosifov, Ruben Pena, Filip Jorgensen, Boulaye Dia, Sergio Asenjo, Alfonso Pedraza, Pervis Estupinan, Moi Gomez.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
The frustration was clear on Villarreal's faces at the half-time whistle and they'll be wondering how they're not out of sight in this game. Emery will be hoping they can manage to convert one of their chances soon. United have struggled for large parts of this game, and Solskjaer may be thinking about making a change to add something different in the final third.
It's an important win for United after a run of poor results and they go third in the group, level with Young Boys. Next up for them, it's back to the Premier League as they host Everton on Saturday. That's Villarreal's first defeat of the season which leaves them bottom of the table. They face Real Betis in LaLiga next time out.
