Prediction: Chelsea 2-2 Man United
We expect United to come hard at the Blues even with the poor defence with the changes ringing in at Old Trafford providing a buzz of energy.
The Devils will look to make it successive wins following their mid-week success.
Chelsea losing two quality and in-form players will be tough, but they are still a formidable unit.
A high-scoring draw is what we foresee between these two giants of English football.
Players to watch out for: Mount, James, Fernandes and Ronaldo.
