Manchester United will be hoping to return to form in the Premier League as they travel to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Red Devils have sliding to ninth position in the League table as they’ve won only one of their last five games in the top flight. This being said they are six points adrift of Frank Lampard’s Chelsea as at this moment.
United were held to a stalemate (0-0) by Wolverhamptom wanderers in their match but the Red Devils have beaten their opponent Chelsea twice this season.
With the match certain to generate a lot of interest abroad for many reasons, ManUnitedcore.com takes a look at how Manchester United will line-up against Chelsea.

Doubtful: Axel Tuanzebe (hamstring)
United are without the services of key midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott Mc Tominay due to injury even as star forward Marcus Rashford will not be available due to back pain.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may utilize the 3-4-1-2 formation that produced the goods against Manchester City in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final towards the end of January.
This could see Luke Shaw line-up as part of a back three with Brandon Williams and right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka featuring as the two wings backs either side of Fred and Nemanja Matic in the middle.
New signing Bruno Fernandes would operate as the number 10 behind a front two, and Daniel James’s speed in the final third should give the Welsh star the edge to start along with Anthony Martial in attack.
Jesse Lingard and Brazilian playmaker Andreas Pereira are option for United manager in team selection while talented youngster Mason Greenwood is a good option for United with his impressive 10 goals from the wings across all competitions this season.
Odion Ighalo is unlikely to start in his debut against Chelsea having signed from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua last month. He is expected to make the bench on Monday night at Stamford Bridge.
