Manchester United Vs Psv Eindhoven Champions League Kick Off Time

 

Man Utd vs. PSV takes place in the Champions League on tonight.

The game, which takes place at Old Trafford, is scheduled to kick off at 19:45 GMT and airs live in the United Kingdom on BT Sport Europe/BT Sport Europe HD.

Manchester United could be without as many as nine first-team players for the clash with PSV.

Captain Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial, Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini, James Wilson, Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw all missed Saturday’s 2-1 victory at Watford in the Premier League, while Ander Herrera and Phil Jones picked up injuries at Vicarage Road.

Rooney, who missed the weekend win through illness, and Martial, who has a minor ankle problem, could return to the United side, but Valencia (foot) and Shaw (leg) are long-term absentees and will definitely miss the game.

Wilson picked up a knee injury in training last Friday, while Carrick injured an ankle during the international break and Fellaini has not played since last month’s Capital One Cup defeat to Middlesbrough.

Herrera, who sustained a hamstring injury against Watford, and Jones, who suffered a foot injury, are both expected to miss the match.

Meanwhile, Juan Mata is in an upbeat frame of mind as he looks to secure glory in Europe and in the Premier League this season.

“We could make an important step to finish first in our group in the Champions League this week and we could climb to the top of the Premier League,” he said.

“We’re feeling optimistic, as always, and our goal is to win both games and to have the best possible start to the busy period ahead. Obviously it’s going to be tough, and we will need to be at our highest level to beat PSV and Leicester. But let’s go little by little.

“We lost to PSV in September and now we want to get the three points that would take us closer to the next stage.”
