Manchester United are in London to face Chelsea in a difficult fourth round Carabao Cup tie. The last time these two teams faced each other, the Reds made a stunning start to the Premier League season by beating the Blues 4-0 at Old Trafford. Since then, United’s form has been uneven, while Chelsea eventually settled into an extended winning streak. Although United are entering this match on the back of two straight away wins, Frank Lampard’s men are likely to be a much tougher proposition than Partizan Belgrade or Norwich City.

United’s injury woes have started to abate, and a relatively strong traveling party has made its way to Stamford Bridge. Paul Pogba is not among that group, however, as the midfielder is likely to be missing for another month with injury. Surprisingly, Mason Greenwood played 90 minutes for the U-21s on Tuesday, so is unlikely to be involved. David de Gea has not traveled with the squad either, while Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matić, Diogo Dalot, and Eric Bailly are all still injured.
