"Manchester United make two changes to the team that started the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. Harry Maguire and Casemiro come in for Leny Yoro and Manuel Ugarte, both of whom are benched. Altay Bayindir again gets the nod ahead of new keeper Senne Lammens. Chelsea also make two changes in the wake of defeat, theirs that 3-1 loss at Bayern Munich. Wesley Fofana and Estevao replace Tosin Adarabioyo and Malo Gusto, who drop to the bench."
"But! If there's a fixture that could rekindle some hope around Old Trafford, and belatedly kick-start United's season, it's Chelsea at home. United are unbeaten in 12 in this fixture, since Juan Mata, then a Blue, scored a late winner in May 2013; pull back the viewfinder a little further, and Chelsea have only won this fixture twice in the last 20 years. Factor in Chelsea's painful energy-sapping lesson in Munich earlier this week, suffered while United had their feet up"
