Chelsea will travel to Manchester United on Saturday, as both groups look to their best form.
Frank Lampard’s team beat Crystal Palace before halftime and also had some bright moments against Southampton last weekend, before letting their lead move towards a disappointing 3-3 draw.
But the weekday draw with Sevilla in the Encouraging Champions League, as he won a rare blank leaf, largely due to the functionality of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who returns to Old Trafford this afternoon.
United are dynamic after two wins, first against Newcastle United last weekend and then against PSG mid-week, with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford in the most sensible way.
Here’s everything you want to know.

Team news
Edinson Cavani is expected to be worried about the Manchester United team as he continues his progress towards complete fitness and may make his deyet at the bank. Harry Maguire and Mason Greenwood are available, but Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly remain absent, while Anthony Martial is suspended.
Chelsea don’t have any new injury problems. Thiapass Silva’s minutes are “handled,” says Frank Lampard, so he can give up after betting 90 minutes in the Champions League. If Lampard moves to 3 in the middle of the field, as he does in complicated home games, Matthew Kovacic can pass to the side.
Alignments
Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Telles; McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes; Rashford, martial
Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Chilwell; Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante; Monte, Werner, Pulisic
chances
Man Utd 8/11
Chelsea 9/5
No 13/5
Prediction
A hard one to call. Both groups have the ability to concede two or three goals in a fast and damaging spell, which either coach will know, so we expect Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to play five in the back instead of 4 and Frank Lampard to deploy 3 to midfield two. For this explanation why it’s tight: Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea.
