Man Utd vs Chelsea in pictures: The best photos and highlights LIVE from today's Premier League match

Top-four rivals Manchester United and Chelsea lock horns on Sunday in a match that is likely to have significant ramifications in the battle for Champions League qualification.

After woeful Arsenal slumped to their third successive loss at Leicester earlier in the afternoon, the Blues head into the eagerly-anticipated clash at Old Trafford occupying fourth spot with a one-point buffer to their London rivals in fifth.

Out-of-form United are currently positioned three points further back in sixth, though are at a low ebb in terms of their confidence after losing seven of nine matches to bring the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer honeymoon period to a swift close.

The Norwegian restored Eric Bailly, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Romelu Lukaku to his starting XI to face Chelsea, while counterpart Maurizio Sarri drafted in the fit-again Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Mateo Kovacic and Willian.
