Man Utd's predict lineup vs Chelsea: Lingard, Jones & Rojo start, Fred & Mata in

Chelsea vs Man utd preview:
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a number of selection dilemmas for Manchester United's trip to face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup round-of-16 on Wednesday night.


Following a terrible start to the season, United are on something of a roll: the Red Devils drew 1-1 with Liverpool at home on 20 October before securing two rare away wins in four days at Partizan Belgrade and Norwich City (both 1-0).



With those results in mind, Solskjaer may be torn between trying to keep the momentum going or handing much-needed minutes to some of his younger squad players at Stamford Bridge.

Paul Pogba is out until December, and Solskjaer is confident Fred can continue to deputise as the Brazilian shows signs of growing into his midfield role after a tepid start to life at Old Trafford.



The United boss also talked under Andeas Pereira's recent performances, though that could mean he is rested with first-team duties in mind.

Anthony Martial is also likely to be rested after starting and scoring against Norwich, with the Frenchman not yet back to full fitness following a frustrating spell on the sidelines due to injury.



Brandon Williams turned in a man-of-the-match display in Belgrade, and with Luke Shaw set to miss out again, Solskjaer hinted that fans will see both the left-back and fellow academy graduate James Garner, who the manager described as "excellent" off the bench at Norwich.



Mason Greenwood has struggled with a back injury since his rise to prominence with first-team goals in the Carabao Cup and Europa League back in September, and his starting role for the academy side on Tuesday night suggests the 18-year-old will have a bench role at best on Wednesday.



Predicted Man Utd lineup (3-4-2-1): Romero; Jones, Maguire, Rojo; Wan-Bissaka, Fred, McTominay, Williams; Lingard, Mata; Rashford
