Manchester United v Chelsea Team News: Pogba And Morata Start At Old Trafford
13:23, 25 Feb 2018

Jose Mourinho has recalled Paul Pogba into his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Chelsea, while Antonio Conte is also able to name one of his shining lights, as Alvaro Morata will be unleashed from the start, as these two giants lock horns in a cracking clash on Sunday afternoon.

Pogba was dropped for United's Champions League last-16 tie with Sevilla, but the French international will return to the fray this afternoon, and he will join Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay in the engine room, as they look to feed Romelu Lukaku, who will look to down his former employers, as United aim to leapfrog Liverpool into second place in the table.

Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez are both named in the starting line-up, but there is only a place for both England internationals Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford, as Mourinho attempts to down his former side.

Conte has watched his Chelsea side lose two of their last three matches in the Premier League, and will be eager for his Blues side to gain some consistency, and he has chosen Morata over Olivier Giroud to lead the line for the Blues, who will be looking for him to team up with bright spark Eden Hazard, who is sure to be the catalyst for Chelsea this afternoon.

Marcos Alonso has been struggling with injuries of late, but the attacking defender will be given a starting berth, while Willian has been chosen over Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, as the Brazilian aims to down the Red Devils on Sunday.
