Chelsea vs Manchester United
Chelsea have made a blistering start to the new season and are sitting pretty at the summit of the standings, with 29 points from 12 games (W9 D2 L1). The Blues have the best defensive record in the competition, while in recent weeks, they have also started to show the cutting edge in attack, having beaten Leicester City 3-0 last weekend before battering Juventus 4-0 in the Champions League earlier this week.
With the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City not very far behind, Chelsea will need to keep on racking up the wins to maintain their grip on the top spot. Standing in their way on their quest to a victory will be a beleaguered Manchester United side, who are in a state of disarray, having lost five of their last seven league matches.
Carrick, who took charge of his first game in midweek, led Manchester United to a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Villarreal in the Champions League, helping the team qualify for the next round. He and his team will hope to draw confidence from that display, but up against a Chelsea in rampant form, they will be in for a much sterner challenge.

Chelsea vs Man United team news
While there is hope that Ben Chilwell can play for Chelsea again this season, the England international will not be available until the New Year at least as a result of knee ligament damage suffered against Juventus.
N’Golo Kante also twisted his knee in midweek and will miss today’s game.
For United, Harry Maguire is suspended but Luke Shaw, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood could all come back into the side.
Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba are still sidelined.

Manchester United have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four Premier League meetings with Chelsea - the only team to record a shutout in more consecutive league games against the Blues is Newcastle United, who did six in a row between 1913 and 1919.
