Manchester United will set their sight on bouncing back to winning ways in the Champions League when they welcome their Turkish opponent to Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Match preview

Manchester United will host Istanbul Basaksehir at Old Trafford on Tuesday in their fourth round match of this season's UEFA Champions League. The Red Devils have their sight set on progressing to the last 16 stage of the competition and a win over the Turkish outfit should guarantee them that.

Having handed the visitors their first-ever win in the history of the European competition in the reverse encounter in Turkey, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men will be out to get a revenge with the stakes very high this time. On two occasions, United were made to pay for their defensive ineptitude with Okan Buruk's men condemning them to a 2-1 defeat, thanks to goals by Demba Ba and Edin Visca. Since suffering that loss, the Red Devils have not put a foot wrong in all competitions.

A 3-1 win over Everton in the Premier League boosted the morale in camp ahead of the international break. This weekend, the Old Trafford outfit added to their run by subjecting West Brom to a 1-0 defeat at home. In a broader scope, they have won six of their last 10 matches, losing three while drawing the remaining one.

For Basaksehir, the upcoming encounter presents them with a good opportunity to blow Group H wide open. Currently, both Manchester United and RB Leipzig are tied on six points atop the table with Paris Saint-Germain surprisingly sitting at the base. A win for the Turkish outfit will take them level on point with the two top clubs provided PSG also defeat their German counterparts in the other group fixture.

In essence, the significance of Tuesday's game with Manchester United cannot be underemphasized. Having already defeated the Premier League club at home, Basaksehir should fancy their chances to potentially cause an upset. They approach Tuesday's test off the back of a 3-2 defeat to Besiktas in the Super League.

Team news

Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly are all ruled out of Tuesday's meeting with Istanbul Basaksehir. Victor Lindelof remains a doubt while Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood are expected to return to the fold.

For the visitors, only Junior Caicara and Enzo Crivelli are out with injuries. No player is suspended for either of the two clubs.

Predicted starting XI

Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Tuanzebe, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Greenwood; Martial

Istanbul Basaksehir: Gunok; Rafael, Skrtel, Epureanu, Bolingoli-Mbombo; Visca, Aleksic, Ozcan, Kahveci, Turuc; Ba.
