Manchester United take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon with Erik ten Hag having another injury crisis at the back to deal with, after Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof ruled out for a month.
The reverse fixture saw United win 2-1 thanks to two goals from Scott McTominay, with Bruno Fernandes also missing from the penalty spot.
While Chelsea find themselves in the bottom half of the table, they haven’t lost in the league since the first week of February, while United’s form has been poor, even if there have been some decent results along the way, like the FA Cup quarter-final victory over Liverpool.
Mason Mount will be returning to the club he represented from the age of six until signing for United in the summer, having scored the first goal of his United career last weekend against Brentford.
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Bruno, Antony; Hojlund.
Subs: Heaton, Evans, Kambwala, Amad, Amrabat, Eriksen, McTominay, Mount, Rashford.
Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Badiashile, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Palmer, Gallagher, Mudryk; Jackson.
