Chelsea vs Manchester United Preview
Chelsea take on crisis club Manchester United in a Premier League blockbuster at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off set for 08:30 on Saturday 31 October.
Michael Carrick remains in charge of Manchester United despite mounting pressure following a dismal run of results.

Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso will be looking to steady the ship following successive defeats, with the return of Cole Palmer from suspension providing a welcome boost.
Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League with 13 points from eight matches. When last in league action, the Blues suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea had just 32% possession and managed four shots on target as they failed to find the net.
On Wednesday night, Chelsea were knocked out of the Carabao Cup, losing on penalties at Liverpool after a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes.
United are 16th in the Premier League with seven points from eight games, sitting just one point above the relegation zone. The Red Devils suffered a disappointing 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth in their latest league fixture at Old Trafford. United dominated possession with 62% of the ball but registered only three shots on target.
