Manchester United – pre-match summary

• Bruno Fernandes has no goals or assists across his last seven Premier League appearances and turned in another shocking performance against Arsenal on Saturday. He missed a penalty to make it 2-2 and then conceded possession for Arsenal to make it 3-1. He should really be dropped here.
• Dropping Harry Maguire made no difference to the team on Saturday as Manchester United still managed to concede three goals. They needed David de Gea at times to ensure it wasn't more than that as well. He will most likely return here.
• Ralf Rangnick may give serious thought to fielding two right-backs again here after Alex Telles had another tough afternoon this past weekend.
• Fred is expected to resume training at the start of the week and he will slot straight back into the team if he is fit to start. Paul Pogba has likely played his last game for United already.

Chelsea – pre-match summary

• Antonio Rudiger and Reece James both missed the 1-0 win over West Ham, but both could be available for Chelsea at Old Trafford. Thomas Tuchel confirmed after Sunday's victory that Rudiger will leave in the summer, though may start here if fit.
• Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi are all sidelined for the Blues.
• Christian Pulisic scored off the bench at Stamford Bridge, however Tuchel may go for Kai Havertz and Timo Werner in attack with Mason Mount in support once again.
