Manchester United will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face Chelsea.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side reclaimed second spot from Leicester City last weekend courtesy of a 3-1 home success over Newcastle United, but the 20-time English champions are still 10 points off league leaders Manchester City.
The Red Devils will enter Sunday's contest off the back of a goalless draw with Real Sociedad in the second leg of their last-32 Europa League clash, which saw them advance 4-0 on aggregate to the next round.
