#2 Use Nemanja Matic as the No. 6 and Bruno Fernandes as the No. 10

Ever since his return from injury, Nemanja Matic has become a huge player for Manchester United, helping the team to seven wins out of the 12 matches he has played. The Serbian scored the winning goal in Manchester United's 1-0 win over Pep Guardiola's side late last month.

With injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been forced to use Andreas Pereira in the holding midfielder's role with very little impact. Matic is fully fit and should start against his former team. The former Chelsea man is a huge presence in the middle of the park and him alongside Fred will offer Solskajer the much-needed midfield solidity.

Manchester United's January signing Bruno Fernandes looked sharp and incisive on his debut against Wolverhampton and is expected to play a key role against Chelsea on Monday night as well. We saw Fernandes operate in a more deeper role against Wolves, however, with Matic playing in the No.6 role, the former Sporting Lisbon captain should play in his preferred No.10 position.

Bruno Fernandes is a naturally attacking playmaker who loves to feed on the spaces between the defensive lines. Chelsea will find it hard to keep the Portuguese international quiet for the entire 90 minutes and Red Devils supporters will hope for a moment of magic from their new signing.
