Tough fixture in what has rarely been a happy hunting ground for Utd although we did manage to win there twice last season in the league cup and league fixtures.
Chelsea have had a bit of a new manager bounce look more like the team from 2 seasons ago lots of possession but lack a cutting edge and have gone back to a 3-4-3 system which seems to suit what they have. Utd's lead over Chelsea is now 6 points after a great run of results 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 plus that big win it Madrid this is a side high on confidence.
For Utd it feels much more like the opposite the team is lacking a bit of confidence currently after dropping silly points to Everton and West Brom in recent weeks.
For Utd Pogba is out and we'll wait to hear on Cavani/VDB/McTominay who all missed the game in midweek with injury.
Predicted XI
DDG
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McTominay Fred
Greenwood Bruno Rashford
Martial
Utd need a win. The league form has been indifferent recently a win would land a heavy blow to Chelsea in the top 4 race and hopefully help us maintain the gap to the rest of the chasing pack. We can forget the title but it's now about consolidating that top 4 spot and maintaining the gap to 5th place.
