After a much needed two week winter break, Manchester United are back in Premier League action today, visiting fellow top 4 hopefuls Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are currently in possession of that coveted last Champions League qualification spot (although with Manchester City’s UEFA suspension, the fifth placed team in the league may also qualify), while the Reds are 6 points back in ninth. With league leaders Liverpool far in the distance, and City and Leicester comfortably in 2nd and 3rd respectively, a fascinating mini-league is beginning to emerge. As many as 7 teams find themselves competing for 1 or 2 qualification places, making today’s match up in London something of a “Top 4 six-pointer.”

New signing Bruno Fernandes is likely to keep his place in the United starting XI. Fellow newcomer Odion Ighalo has joined up with the traveling squad after training alone since joining on deadline day of the last transfer window, but is likely to start this match from the bench. While Scott McTominay and Axel Tuanzebe are back in training, Solskjaer denied that either player would ready for Monday’s clash.
