Fixture: Chelsea vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)
Manchester United have officially announced their team and substitutes to lock horns with Chelsea in a Premier League fixture this afternoon at Stamford Bridge.
Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal, who is under pressure due to his side presently being outside the top four, trusts in Wayne Rooney in attack, supported by Anthony Martial, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard. At the back, Chris Smalling and Daley Blind form the central defensive pairing, while Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick are named in midfield.
On the bench, Van Gaal can turn to Memphis Depay if he needs to throw on another attacking option, while Morgan Schneiderlin is another substitute today.
Manchester United go into the game on the back of an impressive 3-0 win at home over Stoke City in midweek, a result Van Gaal will be desperate for his side to build upon against Chelsea today.
Manchester United Team vs Chelsea
De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson, Fellaini, Carrick, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Rooney
Substitutes: Romero, McNair, Varela, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Pereira, Depay
