MANCHESTER UNITED VS CHELSEA; TEAM NEWS, MIKEL STARTS.
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney returns for Louis van Gaal's side, while Chelsea bring back star man Eden Hazard for Monday's crucial Premier League clash.
Rooney had initially been dropped for the defeat to Stoke City on Boxing Day, coming off the bench at half-time, but the striker is named in the starting XI as manager Van Gaal comes under increasing pressure.
Meanwhile, Hazard returns from injury to start for the first time under recently appointed boss Guus Hiddink, following the departure of Jose Mourinho.
Manchester United starting XI: De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Young, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Mata, Herrera, Martial, Rooney (c).
Chelsea starting XI: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Pedro; Hazard.
