Manchester United welcome Chelsea in today’s late Premier League kick-off at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are seven points adrift of the top four, but they can reduce the deficit by beating the Blues.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana is expected to return between the sticks after getting a breather in the Carabao Cup fourth round in midweek.
In front of him, Diogo Dalot should start at right-back. Matthijs de Ligt is likely to be partnered by Lisandro Martinez in central defence.
Victor Lindelof should make way for Noussair Mazraoui at left-back.
Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro should be assured starters in midfield with the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen injured.
Further forward, Bruno Fernandes is a nailed-on starter from the no.10 role.
Marcus Rashford is expected to feature on the right wing with Alejandro Garnacho on the left. Rasmus Hojlund is set to lead the club’s attack.
Joshua Zirkzee had a poor showing up front and should be replaced by Hojlund, who has netted in two of the last four starts for United.
Predicted Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Chelsea: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Ugarte, Casemiro; Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
