The Irons are currently sitting in sixth spot after the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, while Manchester United are just one point behind in seventh after a late 4-3 win away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Planned industrial action across the weekend will hurt travel arrangements when Avanti West Coast although there is no strike action on game day, an overtime ban will limit available services.
There are multiple options for parking for those taking their cares including Macmillan Car Park, which is opposite Old Trafford, Salford Quays Lowry Mall and the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Most must be booked in advance, which prices varying from £4.50 to £10.

The Hammers welcomed Mohammed Kudus back to Club action after Ghana’s elimination from the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, and defender Nayef Aguerd may not be too far behind after Morocco exited the competition.
Michail Antonio and Lucas Paquetá remain unavailable for David Moyes’ side.
The Red Devils, meanwhile, will be without Anthony Martial. The forward is a long-term absentee after undergoing surgery on a groin complaint.
Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount remain absent due to injury too, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Lisandro Martinez will be assessed.
The Hammers may be looking for a double over Man United but they might need to go to Specsavers and find the most optimistic pair of goggles possible. What the team has delivered in the last several games does not lend itself to much optimism. And I might suggest that Moyes ensures that his players are wide awake and do not give away any free gifts like we did in the last game. I guess Moyes master plan is to defend, defend, defend and pass sideways and back, as usual. God help us!
