Chelsea are hopeful striker Loic Remy will be fit after he missed the QPR match with a calf injury.

Diego Costa is still absent but could return against Arsenal next week.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is without the injured quartet of Michael Carrick, Daley Blind, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo.

Jonny Evans is suspended, so Chris Smalling, Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett are the club's only available central defenders.

MATCH PREVIEW

Even before a ball is kicked, the title seems to have moved closer to being clinched by Chelsea.

Manchester United's derby win last weekend has come at a cost, with Phil Jones, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Michael Carrick all ruled out of the action at Stamford Bridge.

Of that quartet, the loss of Carrick may be the most keenly felt, with United having won 12 and lost only one of the 16 Premier League games he's started this season. There's also the possible knock-on effect of having to move Wayne Rooney back from his striking position to cover.

None of that is to say that bang in-form United CAN'T win of course, but it surely seems less likely, with Chelsea having not lost a home league game for one year.

Only Bradford have beaten the Blues at the Bridge this season , with Jose Mourinho's side boasting the only undefeated home record in the top eight tiers of English football - encompassing 16 leagues!

Their football hasn't been scintillating of late - all of their last six league wins have been by a single goal - but it's often said that the mark of a good side is one that wins when not playing well, and Chelsea are winning.

It's now almost undoubtedly a question of when they win the league, not if, and on collecting his third Premier League title (in three games time if they win them all) Mourinho might raise a glass to the man who'll be in the other technical area for this one.

In the late 1990s, whilst others doubted his worth to the Barcelona backroom team, Louis van Gaal not only kept the Portuguese on but promoted him to first-team coaching duties.

The rest, as they say, is history.
