PRVWDefender Eric Bailly has been out of action for several weeks and Antonio Valencia has not featured since February, with Solskjaer confirming that the Ecuadorian will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
-
PRVWAnder Herrera has missed Man Utd's last four games with a hamstring injury but Solskjaer appeared hopeful for the Spaniard's availability for the 'Chelsea or City' fixtures when speaking this week.
-
PRVWThe Blues, however, haven't won at Old Trafford since 2013 when current United player Juan Mata scored a late winner in a 1-0 win.
-
PRVWIn their head to head record, the hosts have the edge in this fixture, at least historically, winning 78 to Chelsea's 54, but United have only beaten Chelsea on three occasions in the last 18 meetings.
-
PRVWMonday's frustrating draw with Burnley highlighted all of Chelsea's problems in 90 minutes - defensive disorganisation, a distinct lack of creativity and Sarri's inability to adapt to a defensive opponent.
-
PRVWMeanwhile, Chelsea's unconvincing performances in each of their last four matches has certainly clouded their current position in the top four, as well as the last four in the Europa League.

PRVWTo make matters worse, it's been eight hours and 47 minutes since the Red Devils scored a goal from open play.
-
PRVWMan Utd are in pretty dismal form of late, losing three games on the spin and conceding nine goals without reply. Solskjaer has won just two of his six games since taking the job on a permanent basis - a far cry from the 14 wins from 19 during his spell as caretaker boss.
