Chelsea entertain Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, with both teams hoping to tighten their grip on a European spot.
The Blues are currently in sixth but have lost their last three successive top-flight games without scoring a goal.
Manager Liam Rosenior has urged his side to “take advantage of the moment” as they look to make ground on fifth-placed Liverpool, who the Blues trail by four points.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have been rejuvenated under interim boss Michael Carrick, with a third-place finish and Champions League football next season a distinct possibility for the Red Devils.
United come into the game having won just one of their last four, however, and have ended the game with 10 players in their last two outings.
