Man United come into today's clash on the back of a disappointing loss to Newcastle and a 3-3 draw against Galatasaray. The Red Devil’s will be thankful to be at the theatre of dreams tonight due to poor away form. 

With Casemiro still out, Erik Ten Haag has had to rely on impressive 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo to control the games. Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, has failed to score in 100 of his last 140 Man United games and fans are becoming increasingly frustrated with their home-grown talent. A big win over Chelsea today would be just what the doctor ordered.

The Blues have suddenly picked up form in the past few weeks. Drawing to Man City and thrashing Spurs has boosted their confidence. Chelsea might be in 10th position, but Mauricio Pochettino is starting implement his style of play into the team. Argentinian, World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez bagged two goals in an important win against Crystal Palace last week and is inspiring his team. Connor Gallagher will not be available but Reece James will be back fit, along with Marc Cucurella.

Line ups:

Man United XI: Onana, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Amrabat, McTominay, Fernandes, Garnacho, Antony, Hojlund.

Subs: Bayindir, Martial, Rashford, Reguilon, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Evans, Mainoo. 

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Cucurella, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Sterling, Fernandez, Caicedo, Mudryk, Palmer, Jackson.

Subs: Petrovic, Badiashile, Broja, James, Maatsen, Deivid, Gilchrist, Matos, Castledine.
