Man Utd vs Chelsea: Ones to watch
Man United captain Bruno Fernandes could step up and answer some critics with a quality performance against Chelsea.
The attacking midfielder has been one of the club's star players since his arrival in 2020 and has chipped in this season.
Fernandes has three goals and three assists in 14 Premier League outings and could look to add to his tally.
Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez will have to be on top form in order to help his side pick up another positive result.
The midfielder will also have to put in some more running, as midfield partner Gallagher will miss out through suspension.
Fernandez finally grabbed his first two Premier League goals of the season against Brighton and will be hoping to continue his goalscoring form against United.

Conor Gallagher misses out through suspension after picking up two yellow cards against the Seagulls.
Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag's injury is likely to be without Tyrell Malacia (knee), Christian Eriksen (leg), Jonny Evans (muscular), Casemiro (hamstring), Lisandro Martinez (foot) and Amad Diallo (knee).

And ESPN adds that Ten Hag has brought injured defender Lisandro Martinez back into the first-team fold as a show of support.
Some players are said to be falling out of love with Ten Hag’s vision.
Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol claims that although some stars remain behind the Dutchman, morale is all-around low due to his "robotic" patterns and running-based training sessions.
Players are understood to have complained about the high amount of running while "not knowing what they are running for", according to the presenter.
A source adds that Ten Hag has now "lost elements" of the dressing room, which amounts to HALF of United's playing squad.
ESPN adds that a group of aces have also “privately raised issues” over Ten Hag’s Carrington drills, as well as his “cavalier” tactics.

Ten Hag wants to 'dominate'
Erik ten Hag has claimed that United need to dominate games more moving on from their loss to Newcastle.
He said: "This week, it was not in our advantage but you have to take it as it is. We have to put this right.
"I know we are resilient. We can do that.
"Several weeks ago, we lost to [Manchester] City and then we had a good run [in the Premier League], so we have to get back to a good run.
"You could say we defended quite well [Against Newcastle] but I prefer to stay further away from our goal and I prefer to have more of the ball, to play in their half.
"We had our moments where we could make good formations but it wasn’t enough. We could have been more dominant in the game."
