GK: David de Gea
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is a must-start for this game after a superb season and will be key to keeping Chelsea out.
DR: Antonio Valencia
United’s first choice at right-back this season, Antonio Valencia may not be ideal but will need to be on top of his game here.
DL: Ashley Young
Perhaps moved to left-back after a run in midfield, Ashley Young has been a surprisingly top performer for the Red Devils this term.
DC: Paddy McNair
With both Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo expected to miss this game through injury, Paddy McNair has to come in alongside Chris Smalling.
DC: Chris Smalling
On the scoresheet against Manchester City, Chris Smalling’s form has improved of late and should see him start alongside Jones here.
DM: Marouane Fellaini
With Michael Carrick a doubt through injury, United could move Marouane Fellaini back into a slightly deeper role for this game.
MC: Ander Herrera
A player in top form right now, Ander Herrera will surely keep his starting spot in this important game.
MC: Juan Mata
In place of Marouane Fellaini as he moves back, Juan Mata takes a place alongside Ander Herrera in a central midfield position.
MR: Adnan Januzaj
Perhaps handed a rare chance to start, Adnan Januzaj seems a good option to come in in one of the attacking midfield roles.
ML: Angel Di Maria
With Young moving back to left-back as Blind replaces Carrick in midfield, there could be a starting spot for Angel Di Maria – can he finally make an impact in a big game?
FC: Wayne Rooney
A striker in top form since being moved back upfront, Wayne Rooney has a good record against Chelsea and will be hoping to do some damage this Saturday.
