Manchester United host Chelsea in today’s much-anticipated Premier League clash from Old Trafford.

The Red Devils returned to winning ways in midweek with a 5-2 win over Leicester City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Caretaker manager Ruud van Nistelrooy got off to a perfect start but was able to make at least three changes for the late kick-off against Chelsea.

United have the opportunity to reduce the seven-point gap on the top four with a positive result.

The Red Devils have a brilliant record against Chelsea at Old Trafford. They have not lost a league game at home since 2013.

Training: 4-2-3-1

Expected lineup:

André Onana had a respite in midweek with Altay Bayindir starting in goal. The Cameroonian international is expected to return between the sticks against the Blues.

At the back, there could be only one change with the reinstatement of Noussair Mazraoui to the lineup.

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 Martínez at the heart of the defence.

Manuel Ugarte made a good start alongside Casemiro, who was the star of the midweek match 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 at the heart of the midfield.

Bruno Fernandes had his best performance of the season against the Foxes with two goals. He is set to start at number 10.

Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho should be guaranteed starters, but Joshua Zirkzee is expected to be eliminated.

He £37 million the signature was hugely disappointing midweek and should be replaced by Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund has two goals in his four previous starts for the Red Devils in all competitions.
