Graham Potter’s five-game EPL winning streak came to an end as the Blues were held to a goalless draw by Brentford. However the new Chelsea boss is still yet to lose a game after making the switch from the south coast last month, and that’s a record he will be desperate to hold onto against rivals Man Utd. The rejuvenated form of Kepa Arrizabalaga will be pleasing Potter, as will the fact Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three Premier League games. But the visit of Man Utd is arguably Potter’s toughest test as Blues boss to date. 

While Man Utd’s win over Liverpool in August was perhaps more significant, the midweek victory over Tottenham was undeniably the side's best performance under Erik ten Hag to date. The Red Devils swatted aside Conte’s Spurs with ease, if anything a 2-0 defeat flattered the away side. Under ten Hag Man Utd look like they’re turning a corner, and even the theatrics of a sulking Cristiano Ronaldo cannot dent the party atmosphere surrounding Old Trafford right now. 

If Man Utd win they will leapfrog Chelsea and move into fourth place, that would be an impressive achievement considering how the season started for ten Hag’s men. But Potter’s Chelsea are proving very hard to beat, and the Stamford Bridge crowd will be in full voice. 

Here's how they line up: 

Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Silva, Cucurella, Chilwell, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Sterling, Aubameyang

Man Utd: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford
