Here is how Chelsea and Manchester United will line up for today’s match:

Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge this afternoon for their latest Premier League clash.

The match is a bona fide six-pointer with just four points separating the two teams heading into the fixture.

United are second as things stand, with 23 points from a possible 30, while the Blues are two places below them with 19 points to date.

If United win they can move a healthy seven points clear of the reigning champions and their manager Jose Mourinho is likely to have a clear game plan heading into the clash.

He has shown he is not afraid to defend and hit on the counter-attack away from home, and Mourinho proved last season that he knows how to play against Antonio Conte’s side.

Chelsea will be desperate to get the better of United and embarrass their former boss, but that will be easier said than done given some of the struggles at Stamford Bridge this season.

The failure to adequately replace Nemanja Matic and their recent defeat to AS Roam in the Champions League mean they will have to be at their best to get three points this afternoon.

It is certainly possible, with United having a poor record at Chelsea in recent seasons, and this is one game you should not take your eyes off for the full 90 minutes.
