Manchester United vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news

Ruben Amorim is under immense pressure as his Manchester United side host Chelsea in a season-defining fixture on Saturday.

A dreadful start to the campaign has left the Red Devils in the bottom half of the table. They are desperate for a big result against a top rival to turn their season around.

The story of United’s season has been a strange paradox. Statistically, they have been one of the most creative teams in the league, generating a high number of shots and chances in every home game.

However, this attacking intent has been completely undermined by defensive frailty at the other end. Finding the right balance will be key to overcoming an unbeaten Chelsea side.

Ruben Amorim’s options have been limited by injuries. However, a boost has arrived with Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount available. Full-back Diogo Dalot faces a late fitness test. The creative responsibility will fall heavily on captain Bruno Fernandes, who is set to make his 200th Premier League appearance for the club. He will support an attack featuring Benjamin Šeško and Bryan Mbeumo, with the latter boasting an excellent goal involvement record against Chelsea from his time at Brentford.
