Manchester unbeaten in last five games, Chelsea have not lost since Potter arrived last month.
Christian Eriksen will be benched. In defensive midfield, Ten Hag will look to Casemiro, who has brought stability to the team since signing from Real Madrid and Fred. Ten Hag, who has been in charge of Manchester United since the start of the season, lost his first game at home to a Brighton team then managed by Potter. A loss to Chelsea will undoubtedly heap pressure on Ten Hag, who, despite impressive wins against Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool, has overseen a 4-0 drubbing by Brentford and a string of lacklustre performances in the Europa League. Manchester United head to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon for what promises to be a key game for a top-four finish. Preview: Chelsea take on Manchester United in the Premier League

He added: “I am here to manage (the situation). The second time has consequences. I am responsible for the top culture here. Things get better and then you just move forward.” “You have to at least acknowledge the fact they’re human beings who want to be involved in that type of competition absolutely. He was on the (training) pitch, but he's not available for (the Chelsea game). So that’s the latest. But apart from the long-term absences, we’re pretty much as we were.” So I'm happy with that process.” The result moves Forest off the bottom of the table and above Leicester City.

Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge with both teams hoping to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
But the Italian international then made up for it by converting a penalty in a 1-1 draw. Ten Hag has opted not to include him in his squad for today's match after the Portuguese refused to come on as a late substitute in the 2-0 win over Tottenham last time out. 43rd min: Chelsea break at pace and Sterling plays in Aubameyang but Diogo Dalot slides in to put the Gabon international off and the ball goes beyond both of them. 34th min: Rashford runs at Silva but instead of beating him for pace in the box he takes the shot early and it's well saved by Kepa. Our focus is totally on this game, the players are prepared and will work to get a result," says Ten Hag. "Obviously, Fred and Eriksen are different players but it's the same position. 13th min: Kepa makes the first save of the match. 45th min: Antony makes a mess of a big chance down the other end. In the build up, Varane looks to have stretched a bit too far when trying to stop Aubameyang and he looks to be coming off. He jumps highest in the box and Kepa gets a hand to his looping header but tips it onto the post and the ball comes back down, crossing the goal line by a few centimetres! 57th min: A ball is played into Sterling at the back post but he can't connect with the ball properly and fluffs his lines. McTominay is all over Broja and brings him to the floor.

Who will win the English Premier League this season? Manchester United will face Sheriff Tiraspol at home on 28th October, with a draw sufficient to take them to the knockout stages, before taking on West Ham United in another tough Premier League clash on 30th October.

An exciting finish saw a penalty stroked home by Jorginho before Casemiro headed in to share the points.
United sit a point behind Saturday’s opponents and also head into the clash in fine fettle, despite the recent drama surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo (more on him later) and the derby thrashing by City at the start of the month. After conceding a goal in each of Potter’s first two games against Salzburg and Crystal Palace, the Blues haven’t let any in in their last five. That said, why watch when you can stay here and allow me to bring the game to life with some carefully chosen words? We're about 10 minutes away from kick-off and the noise in the stadium is building very close to what we'd expect. Chelsea manage to get their collective feet on the ball for more than a couple of seconds and move into the United half. Ten Hag revealed that the Portuguese star refused to come on as a late substitute in Wednesday’s victory over Spurs, going up the tunnel before the full-time whistle. Not long after and Cucurella is flying in to a United player. He certainly gets hold of it and it flies just wide of the far post. It's been a good opening to the second half from the Blues. Shaw crosses in deep and the Brazilian rises to put a firm header back across goal. Back and forth goes possession, neither side looking to hold onto the ball for too long. The result keeps Chelsea in fourth place, a point ahead of United.

"They beat Spurs the other night and thought they'd won the European Cup. They got hammered against Man City [without him], they lost to Brighton, they lost to Brentford, they've drawn today and celebrated like they've won the league. "He has to take his punishment. Can he get back into the team before the World Cup? "Everyone was saying after the Spurs game it was Manchester United's best performance in years. "They asked the manager in the press conference about Ronaldo refusing to come on but they should have asked him when was he going to put him on? Cristiano is too good a player, too fantastic a character and the club have got to move on. "I'm going to try and defend him. 'I count on him') and that he "counts" on him for the rest of the season, but Sky Sports pundit Neville believes the 37-year-old should leave. Let’s focus on this game, it was a good game for my team and I have to compliment my team. That has been brewing over the last few weeks," said Keane. Because this has to end," said Neville.

"What I said, I don't want to miss him. We want to fulfil our ambitions." "It's for this game and then we continue," he said. I don't have maybe to mention but it is so brilliant.

Cricket legend Kevin Pietersen has labelled Man United manager Erik ten Hag a 'clown' for his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Therefore, later on, I’ve always tried to set the example myself for the youngsters that grew in all the teams that I’ve represented. Giving in to the pressure is not an option. I started very young, the older and most experienced players' examples were always very important to me.
