Chelsea vs Manchester United: Match Preview, Probable Starting Lineups and Prediction – English Premier League

Manchester United visit London to play Chelsea in a Premier League fixture to be played in Stamford Bridge.

Jose Mourinho will be without his top scorer Diego Costa for the match while Loic Remy is also not fully fit. The Portugese manager will decide on whom to start after assessing Loic Remy’s condition ahead of the kickoff. In case Remy doesn’t make it to the starting lineup, Didier Drogba will start up front.

Jonny Evans is still out suspended because of the spit row with Papiss Cisse while Michale Carrick is still a doubt. Carrick was taken off in recent derby win but is expected to make it to the starting lineup here. Luke Shaw and Robin Van Persie are both not fully fit so they will be given time to get back to full fitness.
