The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Chelsea are eyeing a first league win at Old Trafford in 11 years. It's a record that the Blues will want to put behind them as soon as they can. Enzo Maresca, the club's new head coach, will be keen to get off on the right foot following his summer arrival.

During his pre-match press conference, the 44-year-old was surprised at the lengthy winless run, responding: "Really? Wow. Hopefully it's a good time (to play them). It shows how difficult that stadium is. We're going to do our best to win the game."

With the incentive of ending the dismal record, as well as putting right Wednesday night's Carabao Cup exit to Newcastle United, Maresca will welcome back the likes of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Moises Caicedo to his side after resting them in the north east.

Maresca will come up against former Malaga team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is currently in interim charge of Man United following the sacking of Erik ten Hag earlier this week.
