Manchester United vs. Chelsea: Team News, Preview, Live-Stream and TV Info

Manchester United's unbeaten run will be put to the test on Sunday, when the Red Devils will play host to Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Team News

Per WhoScored.com, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones remain sidelined for United, so Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo are expected to continue their central-defensive partnership. The duo could use a break, but the match against Chelsea is too vital.

David De Gea is expected to return to the starting XI, and Ander Herrera should also be fit to start.

Chelsea have been remarkably injury-free this season, and in all likelihood, manager Antonio Conte will once again use his preferred starting XI.

Possible United team: David De Gea, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Possible Chelsea team: Thibaut Courtois, Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic, Victor Moses, Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Willian.

Preview

Manager Jose Mourinho has yet to beat his former club since moving to Old Trafford this season, with both previous meetings coming at Stamford Bridge. He and his squad will hope home-field advantage will make the difference on Sunday.

United's form has been inconsistent of late, and while the club is in the middle of a lengthy unbeaten streak in the league, a large number of those matches have ended in disappointing draws. Things were no different on Thursday, as the Red Devils gave away a certain win at Anderlecht in the UEFA Europa League by allowing a late goal.

Per the club's Twitter account, Mourinho didn't hide the fact he wanted more out of the match:

"

"It is a good result but I think it should be much better."

Chelsea have been in fine form and appear to be cruising to the title. In Hazard and Kante, the Blues have two players who are among the favourites to win the PFA Player of the Year award, and the former will be gunning for the spotlight on Sunday.

The leaders are at their best when Hazard pulls the strings, and he's done just that in the past few weeks. The Belgian seems relaxed and happy and even took a trip to Hungary on a day off:

United's defence has struggled to maintain concentration―Leander Dendoncker's goal on Thursday was a prime example―and against an attack as gifted as Chelsea's, that's asking for trouble.

On the other side of the pitch, the Blues' organised defence will have its hands full with the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic, who continues to defy Father Time.

This match could well be won in the centre of the pitch, however, where Kante will go head-to-head with Paul Pogba, who won the battle with Anderlecht's Youri Tielemans on Thursday. The Belgian is a fine talent with a bright future, but Kante is already among the world's best at his position and will present an entirely different challenge for the Frenchman.

Prediction: United 1-1 Chelsea
