Manchester United are on a roll - not only picking up points but also playing the best football they have done since Louis van Gaal took the helm.

But this weekend they face arguably their toughest test if they are to maintain that run - Chelsea away.

The Blues are rolling towards the title, perhaps not playing brilliantly, but grinding out the results they need. Jose Mourinho will be confident they can continue to pick up the points with the faint breath of Arsenal down their necks when they play United - a team they haven't lost to in their last seven meetings, a run extending back to October 2012.

However, Manchester United can boast comfortable wins over Tottenham, Aston Villa and Manchester City in recent weeks, plus an impressive away win over Liverpool. But if they are to extend their Premier League winning streak to seven games, they must do it without a few key players. We take a look at those set to miss out this Saturday and those fighting to be ready...

Can Manchester United win at the Bridge? Let us know in the comments below.
