Who will start for Manchester United against Chelsea?
It’s a big topic of conversation ahead of tonight’s Premier League game at Old Trafford, where kick-off is set for 20:15 GMT. We’re in that slightly later slot due to the action being broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video.
If you don’t have Prime, you can watch our Match Day Live show from 19:10 GMT and then listen to live radio commentary on MUTV, ManUtd.com and the United App.
Wes Brown will provide his analysis and, ahead of his appearance on screen, our club legend has shared his United Predictions. Take a look at them below before playing the game yourself.
The two-time Champions League winner expects Erik ten Hag to make one change to the XI, with Denmark international Rasmus Hojlund coming back into the side as a replacement for Anthony Martial.
As you can see below, Wes also foresees an influential night for our flourishing Academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho.
