Manchester United predicted line-up vs Chelsea as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plots changes

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to make changes to his Manchester United line-up for the clash with Chelsea .

United have slipped down to sixth in the Premier League after a dismal run of form that has seen them lose five of their last six matches.

Solskjaer's men improved from their shoddy display at Everton against Man City in midweek but they were simply not good enough against their fierce rivals.

They now welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford with the clash going a long way to decide their top four hopes.

Nemanja Matic is likely to return to the United starting line-up after being dropped for the visit of City.

Anthony Martial could also return for United, with Matteo Darmian dropping out and Solskjaer reverting to a back four.

Speaking ahead of the clash, the United boss said: "Sunday is a massive one.

“Sunday is something that we have to get ready for, the crowd has got to get ready for, the players have got to get ready for.

“Of course we have analysed them and let’s just make sure we turn up on Sunday with the same attitude and a little bit more quality in front of goal.

“Hopefully we can get the win everyone here wants and the fans deserve, the players deserve.

“They have made a terrific effort to give us a chance with three games to go to be in the top four.”
