The match is scheduled to get underway at 21h30.

The Blues are still licking their wounds after a 6-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend, although they did beat Malmo in the Europa League a few days later.

United are also pushing for a return to winning ways as they went down 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be without the services of Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial, who were injured in the PSG defeat.

The Blues hold a good record over United at Stamford Bridge in recent years, having won four of the last five matches.   The last time these two sides faced off, they shared the spoils in an entertaining 2-2 draw while Jose Mouirnho was still in charge of the Red Devils.

Here's how they line up:   Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, Luiz, Alonso; Jorginho, Kanté, Kovacic; Pedro, Hazard, Higuaín.   Manchester United: Romero; Young, Lindelöf, Smalling, Shaw; Matic, Herrera, Pogba; Mata, Lukaku, Rashford.
