Team News: Will Mount play?

Mason Mount is in a race against time to be fit for Wednesday's clash against Chelsea after he suffered a calf injury before United's win against Everton.

He has struggled since moving to United from Chelsea in a blockbuster £60 million move, with the Englishman yet to record a goal or an assist for the Red Devils this season.

Other players who are injured for United are Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Jonny Evans, Tyrell Malacia, and Amad Diallo, per The Standard.

Another guy who has struggled for Manchester United this season is Marcus Rashford. He has scored just two goals in the league this campaign, a disappointing return from a guy who signed a lucrative contract extension this past summer.

There's good news for Chelsea ahead of Wednesday's match, with captain Reece James and Marc Cucurella set to return to their lineup after serving their respective bans.
