Team news

Manchester United news

• Bruno Fernandes hasn't scored or provided an assist in his previous seven Premier League outings, and he had another poor showing against Arsenal on Saturday. He missed a penalty to tie the game at 2-2, then gave Arsenal control to make it 3-1. He truly needs to be dumped here.

• The absence of Harry Maguire had no effect on Manchester United's performance on Saturday, as the team still conceded three goals. At times, they needed David de Gea to make sure it wasn't anything more. He'll almost certainly return.

• After another difficult afternoon for Alex Telles this past weekend, Ralf Rangnick may seriously consider fielding two right-backs here.

• Fred is anticipated to return to training at the start of the week, and if he is fit enough to play, he will immediately rejoin the team. Paul Pogba has most likely played his final game for Manchester United.

Chelsea news

• Both Antonio Rudiger and Reece James were absent in Chelsea's 1-0 win against West Ham, but both could play at Old Trafford. Rudiger will go in the summer, according to Thomas Tuchel, albeit he might start here if he is healthy.

• The Blues are without Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

• Tuchel may go for Kai Havertz and Timo Werner in attack, with Mason Mount in support once again, after Christian Pulisic scored off the bench at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United vs Chelsea predictions

Manchester United's only win in their last five matches came against Premier League bottom-placed Norwich City, and it needed a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired performance to secure a 3-2 victory. United are nearing the end of the season, with their chances of finishing in the top four all but gone after back-to-back defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal, leaving them six points behind the leaders.

Chelsea beat West Ham 1-0 late on Sunday afternoon to avenge their 4-2 home loss to Arsenal the week before. With a win at Old Trafford, the Blues will move eight points clear of the Gunners in fourth place.

Chelsea should take advantage of United's current mess to gain another three points.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea
