Marcus Rashford is set to make his return to the Manchester United team in Thursday's Premier League clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old has missed his side's last two games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth due to injury and illness respectively, but he is in line to return to the fold against Chelsea.
Rashford has been in excellent form for the Red Devils this season, scoring 29 goals and registering 11 assists in 53 appearances in all competitions.
Erik ten Hag's side need just one point from their last two games against Chelsea and Fulham to be sure of a top-four spot in the Premier League table and a position in the 2023-24 Champions League.

Rashford has faced the Blues on 16 occasions during his professional career, and he boasts a mixed record against them, posting four wins, seven draws and five defeats.
The Englishman has netted five times and registered three assists against the capital giants, while he has faced them in three separate competitions - the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup.
Rashford has tackled Chelsea on 11 occasions in the Premier League, winning two, drawing seven and losing two of those matches, scoring three goals and registering two assists.
The forward has also scored once in four FA Cup appearances against the Blues, winning just one of those games, while he netted a brace in an EFL Cup fourth-round contest between the two sides in 2019-20.

Rashford's first-ever match against Chelsea brought a 4-0 loss for Man United at Stamford Bridge in 2016, but he scored in the reverse game at Old Trafford, which the Red Devils won 2-0.
Arguably, the forward's best display against the Blues came on the opening weekend of the 2019-20 campaign, when he scored a brace in a 4-0 success for the 20-time English champions.
Rashford has drawn blanks in his last five league games against Chelsea, which have all been draws, including a 1-1 at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
All three of the forward's league goals against the Blues have come at Old Trafford, while he has never lost to the capital giants on home soil in the league, which is a record that he will be looking to continue when the two teams lock horns in Manchester on Thursday night.
