Wayne Rooney and Eden Hazard will both start up top against one another for Manchester United and Chelsea respectively as the two stars return to their starting lineups in a Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
The two were left out of their respective sides in the Boxing Day Premier League fixtures, Manchester United losing 2-0 to Stoke City and Chelsea drawing 2-2 against Watford.
Managers Louis van Gaal and Guus Hiddink continue to experiment with their rosters looking for a winning formula; both Rooney and Hazard have been dropped to the bench or moved to various positions throughout the 2015-16 campaign.
