What is the team news?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to have Harry Maguire and Edinson Cavani available, after the pair missed the PSG game, and Marcus Rashford, who took a knock in the match. Uruguay striker Cavani has yet to feature since his deadline day move, having also been forced to quarantine for a fortnight following his free transfer.

  • Draw 13/5

What's our prediction?

The result of this match greatly depends on which Chelsea defence shows up. The one that leaked three goals against Southampton or the one that kept a clean sheet against Sevilla. Frank Lampard's side had leaked 63 goals in 43 matches before Tuesday's shut-out - the worst return of any Blues boss.

United's back line is hardly watertight, but did manage to limit a PSG side containing Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to one goal, so if recent results are anything to go by it will either be a goalfest or a stalemate.

Predicted score: Manchester United 3 Chelsea 2
