Manchester United vs. Chelsea lineups, live stream: Where to watch Premier League, odds, pick, prediction
Ruben Amorim may be set to coach Manchester United following the departure of Erik ten Hag, but he won't be in charge when the Red Devils host Chelsea on Sunday. With that being the case, Ruud Van Nistelrooy will have a chance to lead the Red Devils for two more matches as Amorim joins in the middle of the month. While he has spoken about accepting a move back to being an assistant under Amorim if that happens, this is also a chance to audition for what comes next for Van Nistelrooy, similar to when Michael Carrick was in the same situation.
Facing a Chelsea side who are threats for a top-four place, this is a time when Van Nistlerooy can pick up a marquee victory over Enzo Maresca and help springboard the Red Devils' season.
Here are our storylines, how you can watch the match and more:

Storylines
Manchester United: While the defense is important, this match will come down to Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho. Manchester United will go as far as their star attackers can take them and Van Nistelrooy's style does cater to feeding them and allowing United to showcase their creativity. Chelsea can be beaten in a track meet by long, calculated risks and that's where United will need to focus to get their Game on track ahead of the new boss taking over.
Manchester United predicted lineup: Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund
Chelsea: If Chelsea wants to make it into a Champions League spot, the time is now. They can go as high as third with a victory and no more motivation should be needed especially when they can open a nine-point lead over the Red Devils before a new manager comes in to right the ship. It's a big opportunity for Chelsea, but to return to the Champions League, you have to defeat the teams behind you in the table.
Chelsea predicted XI: Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, Nicolas Jackson
Prediction
The vibes are far too high at Old Trafford right now for Manchester United to lose this match. Chelsea will push but the points will end up being shared. Pick: Manchester United 2, Chelsea 2
