TEAM NEWS

Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Antony were missing from the matchday squad that faced West Ham in the Premier League last weekend, while Christian Eriksen joined that list for the meeting with the Foxes. 

For the visitors, just Omari Kellyman is missing through injury. However, Chelsea will also be unable to field Jadon Sancho, due to the winger being on loan from United and therefore ineligible to face his parent club.

Maresca has been fielding almost entirely different line-ups between league and cup games this campaign, with several players rested for the 2-0 Carabao Cup reverse at Newcastle.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS

The last Old Trafford match-up between the Reds and Blues came in December last year, where Scott McTominay scored either side of half-time to help us to a 2-1 victory.

We faced the Blues in April at Stamford Bridge, losing 4-3 with the Londoners scoring twice in stoppage time.

United had been leading 3-2 since just beyond the hour mark, thanks to efforts from Alejandro Garnacho (2) and Bruno Fernandes, but Palmer scored a penalty in the 100th minute, before sealing his hat-trick, and Chelsea's three points, a minute later.

LEAGUE FORM

United sit 14th in the league table, although we can close the gap on Chelsea to three points with a win.

The Blues lost their season opener to Manchester City but have fared well since, emerging victorious from five of the subsequent eight fixtures and only losing narrowly at Liverpool a fortnight ago.

Palmer has once again been the undoubted star, weighing in with seven goals and five assists, while Nicolas Jackson has also contributed six strikes to the Blues' overall tally of 19, which is second only to league leaders Manchester City.
