Manchester United starting line up vs Chelsea includes Eric Bailly and Bruno Fernandes

Odion Ighalo is on the bench for Manchester United's game at Chelsea tonight as Bruno Fernandes makes his second start for the club.

Ighalo trained with his United teammates for the first time on Sunday after two weeks of United-imposed quarantine following his deadline day loan move from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.

Nemanja Matic is back in the team after he missed the draw with Wolves on February 1 through suspension.

There is a surprise start for Eric Bailly, who has not yet featured this term due to a serious knee injury sustained against Tottenham in pre-season.

A win for United will see them move up to seventh in the table with 38 points - three shy of Chelsea, who are guaranteed to remain in fourth place regardless of tonight's result.

Full United team: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Bailly, Shaw, Williams; Fred, Matic, Fernandes; James, Martial

United bench: Romero, Dalot, Jones, Andreas, Mata, Greenwood, Ighalo
