Fixture: Chelsea vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)

Manchester United have confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to take on Jose Mourinho's former club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League fixture today.

The Red Devils played out a 0-0 draw away at Liverpool in their last league game, keeping it tight at the back and looking to defend rather than attack, and it remains to be seen if Mourinho will adopt the same approach at Stamford Bridge.




Manchester United go into the game in high spirits after beating Fenerbahce 4-1 in the Europa League and for the game today, Mourinho selects Zlatan Ibrahimovic to spearhead the attack, while he will receive support from Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford. Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini are trusted to boss the midfield, with Eric Bailly and Chis Smalling the central defensive pairing.

On the bench, Mourinho can call for Ashley Young, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata if he needs to change things in the final third, while Michael Carrick is an experienced head.
