Manchester United know they need a huge improvement when they travel to face Chelsea in the Premier League tomorrow night.
Erik ten Hag's side were fortunate to even escape with a point after dismal display against Brentford last time out but know a win at Stamford Bridge could reignite their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
The bad news for United is that they will have to do it without a host of key players after the club confirmed last night that both Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof would be sidelined for roughly one month.
It means United could have just three fit centre-backs for the match, which poses a huge concern after Raphael Varane was taken off as a 'precaution' during the Brentford draw.
Ten Hag will surely look to mix things up after the manner of their performance last Saturday and there could even be a start for Mason Mount after he grabbed his first goal for the club from the bench.
Here is how we think United should line up against Chelsea...

5. LB - Diogo Dalot
Has proven himself as a reliable figure in terms of both performances and availability this season. Should be moved to the left after Wan-Bissaka's struggles there last time out. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

6. CDM - Casemiro
Took a while to settle after he was introduced from the bench at the weekend. It would be wise to choose him from the start so he has the best chance to make a positive impact. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

7. CM - Kobbie Mainoo
Experienced one of his quieter matches against Brentford but still brings so much calmness and composure to the United midfield. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

8. CM - Bruno Fernandes
He really disappointed last time out but will no doubt keep his starting place tomorrow night. Another big game performance is required. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
