Manchester United v Chelsea - Preview and possible lineups

Man Utd: The hosts will be without midfielder Ander Herrera after he aggravated an injury in the Champions League draw with Sevilla in midweek. Paul Pogba could return to the starting lineup after replacing Herrera in that game, whilst defender Eric Bailly is back fit and could make his first start since November. There is some bad news though as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones all remain sidelined.

Chelsea: 'Blues' boss Antonio Conte has no new injury concerns ahead of this one, though David Luiz, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Ross Barkley are all still unavailable.

Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho on facing his former club:

"Very good manager, fantastic team and that's what is important for me. It's just that.

"To play against Chelsea will mean less and less and less with the years. Of course, I left already a couple of years ago and next season it will be three years ago, then four years after that.

"Step by step that feeling I was the Chelsea manager, for them, I think this disappears, so the real meaning of this game is it is two big clubs playing one more match."

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte:

"We must be focused for the next game and to prepare in the right way because we are talking about a very strong team with fantastic players.

"We have to look at ourselves and understand that, from now until the end, every game is very important. The run for a place in the Champions League is open, so we must pay great attention.

"In this run there are many great teams, and someone will have to stay out of the next Champions League."
