After officially becoming the worst Manchester United team in Premier League history on Sunday, Ruben Amorim's side are aiming to prolong their miserable season when Lyon visit Old Trafford.
Defeat at Newcastle means United can no longer better their lowest-ever Premier League points tally, although some of their domestic woes will be forgotten should Amorim's men get the job done on Thursday.
Their Europa League quarter-final with the Ligue 1 outfit is evenly poised at 2-2 after a chaotic end to last week's first leg in France.
Here's how Man Utd could line up for the all-important second leg on home soil.

GK: Andre Onana - Onana's disaster in Lyon convinced Amorim that it was worth thrusting his goalkeeper out of the limelight for a brief period. Altay Bayindir started against Newcastle, but the boss has confirmed that Onana will be back on Thursday.
CB: Noussair Mazraoui - A full-back by trade, the Morocco international has generally been a steady presence both at wing-back and centre-back under the Portuguese.
CB: Harry Maguire - Maguire is a shoo-in to return to United's defence at Old Trafford after getting the weekend off after the first leg.
CB: Leny Yoro - After impressing in France and scoring his first goal for the club, Yoro was oddly criticised by Thierry Henry for some of his work at St. James' Park on Sunday. There are far bigger issues at United than the teenage defender.
RWB: Diogo Dalot - Dalot has been close to an ever-present since Amorim took charge, and he won't be coming out of the side on Thursday. He's a player that has long split opinion in Manchester.
CM: Casemiro - The experienced midfielder has been one of the major beneficiaries of Amorim's arrival, with Casemiro enjoying the smaller spaces he's tasked with covering in the middle of the park. They missed him at Newcastle, and he has an important role to play in the second leg.
CM: Manuel Ugarte - The summer arrival has a pretty good rapport with Casemiro in midfield, although Ugarte has to start offering more in possession. Tenacity and willingness to duel are admirable attributes, but United didn't pay a premium price for a midfielder incapable of contributing to the build-up phase.
LWB: Patrick Dorgu - Dorgu has struggled as of late and could perhaps do with dropping out of the side. However, Amorim is bereft of alternatives at wing-back.
AM: Bruno Fernandes - It's been Bruno or bust for United in recent weeks, and that will likely continue on Thursday.
AM: Alejandro Garnacho - Garnacho has such an important role to play in this competition, and supporters will hope his goal on Tyneside will ignite a productive run from the Argentinian winger.
ST: Rasmus Hojlund - The Danish forward has been so poor this season, and he particularly struggled in the first leg. However, Joshua Zirkzee's hamstring injury means Hojlund is Amorim's only forward option available in the Europa League. Chido Obi is ineligible.
