Manchester United vs Chelsea LIVE early team news, predicted line up and score predictions

Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford on Thursday night.

United's 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the weekend all but officially ended their hopes of finishing in the top four. An emotional Scott McTominay claimed United are now playing for 'pride' across the remaining four fixtures following that defeat.

United have Chelsea, Brentford, Brighton and Crystal Palace left to play this season before Erik ten Hag arrives at the club.

Rangnick's side are currently sixth in the Premier League and reluctantly securing Europa League football now seems the aim.

In regards to team news, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho have been ruled out of the game, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also a doubt. Fred, Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba (all calf) and Luke Shaw (ankle) are all still out. Cavani is due back in training on Friday.
