Two clubs in the hunt for Champions League qualification meet at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night as out-of-form Chelsea host third-placed Manchester United.
Chelsea’s poor run of form continued last weekend, as three second-half goals saw them fall to a 0-3 defeat at home to the blue side of Manchester – on an afternoon I landed a 4/5 winner.
Liam Rosenior’s hosts have now won just one of their previous seven Premier League outings, losing four of their past five, leaving them four points behind fifth-placed Liverpool and just one ahead of West London rivals Brentford in seventh.
Predicted line-ups:
Chelsea are still without the injured Filip Jorgensen, Levi Colwill, Reece James and Jamie Gittens, but Trevoh Chalobah is back in training, and vice-captain Enzo Fernandez returns following a club suspension.
Manchester United will be without defender Lisandro Martinez following his red card against Leeds United last time out, whilst Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, Patrick Dorgu and Kobbie Mainoo are also unavailable.
Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Hato Cucurella, Santos, Caicedo, Neto, Palmer, Fernandez, Pedro
Manchester United: Lammens, Dalot, Yoro, Heaven, Shaw, Casemiro, Ugarte, Diallo, Fernandes, Cunha, Sesko
