Wayne Rooney returns as captain for Manchester United as the red Devils host Chelsea in what looks like an interesting battle of two teams struggling with their own reasons. Louis van Gaal has opted for a strong line up with Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger returning to the midfield pushing out Fellaini to the bench.
For the travelling side, Costa misses out due to suspension, which means Chelsea are playing without a recognized center forward.
Here are the confirmed Line ups:
