DAVID LUIZ V ROMELU LUKAKU
Luiz endured one of his sporadic, spectacularly poor performances against City last week, but he is one of Chelsea's few leaders and is capable of galvanising them.
Lukaku never scored for Chelsea and has lost his place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first-choice side, but has started both FA Cup games and set up two goals at Arsenal.
N'GOLO KANTE V PAUL POGBA
France's World Cup-winning midfielder Pogba has been a revelation for Solskjaer, despite his red card against Paris Saint-Germain. If he starts on the left of United's midfield trio or diamond, Kante should be positioned to follow his compatriot back.
Chelsea often struggle with the spaces either side of Jorginho when Kante is upfield.
GONZALO HIGUAIN V VICTOR LINDELOF
Higuain is looking for a hat-trick after winning the Italian Cup in 2017 and 2018. He is the lone Chelsea player who should be spared criticism for the 6-0 thrashing at the Etihad, where he came close to scoring.
Lindelof could not cope with Kylian Mbappe's pace on Tuesday. He faces a very different test in the slower, bulkier Higuain.
Richard Jolly
Tottenham Hotspur showed why manager Mauricio Pochettino is a wanted man by thrashing Everton 6-2 at Goodison Park on Sunday to close to within six points of Premier League leaders Liverpool. Spurs have had to cope with the unwanted attention of Pochettino being linked with the Manchester United job following Jose Mourinho's sacking this week.

Newcastle United - Record against Ipswich Town
A lot of work to do. Defensively, I like that we won the ball higher up the pitch at times. But we still look like we can't keep up with the opposition when we have to defend in our half. And the passing out the back was not very good. Cech is not cut out for this level anymore. And Bellerin continues to look below average.
