Nemanja Vidic is set to return for Manchester United's eagerly-anticipated visit to Chelsea.

The Serbian has missed two games due to a calf strain but returned to training earlier this week and is expected to be fit, along with £30.75million record signing Dimitar Berbatov, who did not feature in Tuesday's draw with CSKA Moscow after taking a bang on his knee-cap.

Rio Ferdinand (calf) is definitely out, along with Park Ji-sung (knee), while Gary Neville is suspended, so John O'Shea is set to return.

Chelsea have just one player missing from their squad: full-back Jose Bosingwa is still suffering from his knee problem and is unavailable.

But Yuri Zhirkov and John Mikel Obi are in the squad along with goalkeeper Hilario.

Teams:

Chelsea (from): Cech, Hilario, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Alex, A. Cole, Belletti, J. Cole, Ballack, Lampard, Deco, Obi, Essien, Kalou, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Sturridge, Ferreira, Zhirkov.

Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, O'Shea, Rafael, Brown, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Valencia, Obertan, Anderson, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, Nani, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Macheda.
