Manchester United host the clash of the Premier League's opening weekend as they take on Frank Lampard's Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side enjoyed the perfect pre-season, claiming six wins from as many games during their tour of Australia and Asia.
The Red Devils will also be bolstered by the world-record arrival of Harry Maguire, who joined from Leicester City for £80m this week.

Sanchez missed the end of last season with a hamstring injury but recovered in time to star for Chile in the Copa America over the summer. However, he only returned to training a couple of weeks ago and is yet to resume training with the United squad, rendering a place in the matchday squad for Chelsea highly unlikely.
