Chelsea play host to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge this evening with both clubs looking to build some momentum after disappointing seasons.

Dorde Petrovic keeps his place between the sticks for Chelsea while Malo Gusto also starts once again at right-back in the absence of the injured Reece James.
