The duo was missing from the Leicester City diabolical, but a settled back-line should give everyone a well-deserved shot in the arm, especially against a dodgy and dare I say, struggling Manchester United side.
Fellow defender DeAndre Yedlin, who has been complaining of a sore ankle is thought to be ready and raring to go.

Striker Salomon Rondon will miss out with a muscle issue. However, the good news (yes, there’s more) is that he should be back for Brighton in a couple of weeks’ time.
