Premier League updates from the 3.30pm GMT kick-offLive scoreboard | And you can email Tim or tweet him
It’s only two and a half years since Mason Mount was playing the decisive pass that did for Man City in the Champions League final – a pass so good that even Kai Haivertz was able to convert it into a goal. But Mount’s gift for an assist has deserted him, along with his eye for goal, and even changing clubs has not changed his fortunes. Today, with Casemiro ruled out, he still can’t elbow his way into United’s midfield: the No.10 spot, freed up by Bruno Fernandes shifting to the right, has gone to Christian Eriksen. Mount is left hoping that redemption beckons from the bench, as Eriksen seldom appears for more than an hour.
Pep has a full hand to choose from, bar De Bruyne. On paper this lot have already won, haven’t they?
