Manchester United could do something they've not done since Sir Alex Ferguson was manager vs Chelsea

Manchester United are seven games without a win in the Premier League and last won at Stamford Bridge in February 2020.

Tonight they return to the scene of one of their most numbing results last season. United were 3-2 up as the clock ticked past the 90th minute. They lost 4-3.

Chelsea have their own European final to prepare for but do not come up against Antony in the Conference League until Wednesday week. United's most consequential match in years against Tottenham is on Wednesday.

This is United's antepenultimate fixture in what has hitherto been their worst season in 51 years. Here are five things to look out for at Chelsea tonight:

Hints at final XI?

The five-day gap United have between Chelsea and the Europa League final should ensure Amorim picks a reasonably strong side. Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Patrick Dorgu, Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho, all benched against West Ham United, could return.

The majority who do not play tonight can effectively be discounted as a starter against Spurs. The only allowance Amorim could make is for Leny Yoro, given how recent his foot injury was.

Another unwanted stat?

Last week marked the first time United have gone seven league games without a win since November 1992. Weeks after that winless run, Eric Cantona was paraded at Old Trafford.

It is too late for a signing to save this league season for United and more records could still tumble before next week's finale against Aston Villa. Fail to beat Chelsea tonight and it is the first eight-game winless streak in the league since January 1990, the last season that United finished in the bottom half. The season ended with Alex Ferguson's first trophy in the FA Cup.

Centre back trial and error?

Noussair Mazraoui was one of
