The Red Devils lost in this fixture last season thanks to an Alvaro Morata header.

Securing a draw at least would help ease the pressure on Mourinho, whilst the Blues will want to keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool as surprise title contenders.
Eden Hazard continues to dazzle and show just why Real Madrid should have pursued him as the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.
