Team news, key stats and ways to follow ahead of Chelsea vs Man Utd on Monday (kick-off 8pm).
Tammy Abraham faces a late fitness test ahead of Chelsea's Premier League clash with Manchester United on Monday night. The England striker has missed several training sessions this week as he continues to battle an ankle problem and will be assessed late on.
Christian Pulisic (adductor) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Achilles) will both miss out, with neither match fit despite being in training.
Deadline-Day signing Odion Ighalo will be part of Manchester United's squad. Ighalo joined on loan until the end of the season on January 31 but has not been training at Carrington due to concerns about the coronavirus.
Nemanja Matic is available again after missing the 0-0 draw with Wolves through suspension, but Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford and Axel Tuanzebe remain sidelined.

We have another very intriguing match on the cards on Monday. The race for the top four is fascinating. Can Chelsea make it? Again, they are a side who are quite awkward at home.
Tammy Abraham had a few niggles before the winter break, while Mason Mount was left out for the game against Arsenal and these things can start to take a strain. Willian has been class but went cold for a few games, so the break may have come just at the right time for them so that they can get back to the basics.
Manchester United will have got some of their players fit during the break. They were excellent when they went to Manchester City twice, but they are showing no consistency. This is why people are still backing, and hoping for, Mauricio Pochettino to come in.
I do think Chelsea will have enough, but they will need to focus on getting their style right and doing the basics effectively.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
