Manchester United will make eight changes to their starting lineup for their Carabao Cup fourth-round clash with Barnsley on Wednesday night [October 19th]. Manager Erik ten Hag has made wholesale alterations to the side that beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, with only David de Gea, Diogo Dalot, and Christian Eriksen retaining their places.

Facundo Pellistri, Zidane Iqbal, and Charlie Savage are among the players handed a rare start, while there is also a debut for new signing Facundo Pellistri.

Cauley Woodrow, who scored against Fleetwood, is likely to lead the line for the Tykes.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAID

Erik ten Hag (Manchester United): "We have a lot of games in a short period of time, so it is important to rotate the squad and give some players a rest. I am confident that the players who come into the team will be able to do a good job." Michael Duff (Barnsley): "We are looking forward to the challenge of playing Manchester United. We know it will be a tough game, but we are confident that we can give them a good game."

PREDICTION

Manchester United are the clear favorites for this match, but Barnsley have shown in the past that they can be a dangerous opponent. I predict a 2-0 win for United.
