Manchester United entertain Chelsea in today’s much-awaited Premier League clash from Old Trafford.
The Red Devils returned to winning ways in midweek with a 5-2 triumph over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy had the perfect start, but he could make at least three changes for the late kick-off against Chelsea.
United have the opportunity to reduce the seven-point gap to the top four with a positive result.
The Red Devils have a brilliant record against Chelsea at Old Trafford. They have not lost a home league game to them since 2013.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana was given a breather in midweek with Altay Bayindir starting in goal. The Cameroon international is expected to return between the sticks against the Blues.
In the backline, there could be a solitary change with Noussair Mazraoui being reinstated into the line-up.
Victor Lindelof should make way for the Moroccan, who could start from the left-back position.
Diogo Dalot is likely to continue at right-back with Matthijs de Ligt partnering Lisandro Martinez in the heart of the defence.
Manuel Ugarte had a good outing alongside Casemiro, who was the match of the match in midweek with two goals to his name.
Ugarte had a passing accuracy of 90 percent, winning 100 percent of his aerial duels.
The duo are expected to keep their places in the heart of the midfield.
Bruno Fernandes had his best showing of the season against the Foxes with two goals. He is poised to start in the number 10 role.
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho should be assured starters out wide, but Joshua Zirkzee is expected to be dropped.
The £37 million signing was hugely disappointing in midweek and should be replaced by Rasmus Hojlund.
Hojlund has two goals from his previous four starts for the Red Devils in all competitions.
