Preview: Real Madrid put their 3-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League behind them with their 1-0 win over Sevilla but Los Blancos aren't out of the woods yet.

Conte's men sit on top of the standings with a perfect record, winning all four of their games and will be hoping to make it five wins out of five. However, given that the home team in the last seven editions of this encounter failed to win, with five victories going to the visitors, Lukaku and Co. could be in for their first defeat of the season.

The Norwegian has led to club to only five wins since taking up the permanent job 17 games back, with the club being on a decline since offering Solskjaer the long-term deal.
Despite the recent turmoil, Solskjaer reportedly still has the backing from the board
The clash with Rochdale could be used as a confidence booster should the Red Devils brush them aside. The manager will have one eye on their next league game, a home clash with Arsenal. Rashford looks likely to miss that game after picking up a groin injury at the Olympic Stadium.
