Both Chelsea and Manchester United will be missing several key players for this weekend's Premier League clash. The Blues head into the match desperate to bounce back after their 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City last weekend.
Liam Rosenior's side currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, four points adrift of fifth-placed Liverpool, who occupy the final Champions League qualification spot.
United go into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Leeds on Monday night, a result which meant they missed the opportunity of going 10 points clear of Chelsea in the table, a position that would have all-but ensured Champions League qualification for next season with just six games remaining.
Chelsea were already without several players during their loss to City at the weekend, and that situation is expected to remain unchanged when they welcome the Red Devils to Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.
"Trevoh trained today, not quite fully, modified and we'll make a decision on him but he's very, very close. Reece is a little bit further away," Rosenior said.
"It's crazy to say what the starting XI will be two days before a very big game," he said. "Enzo [Fernandez] has been training with the group, he's been training very, very well and it's just business as usual in terms of the selection for the game."

"I think Levi will play some minutes for the Under-21s tomorrow, which is fantastic for him," the Chelsea boss said.
"When you have a long-term injury, such as the extent of Levi's injury, you need a long rehab period. I want to make sure that he's 100% right in terms of his match fitness before we consider him for selection for our first team."
United will also be without a number of key players for their match with Chelsea this weekend.
