Chelsea and Manchester United have opted for youth and athleticism over experience in their teams for today's massive Premier League match, though the Blues didn't have much of a choice. Tom Cleverley has been selected in United's midfield over Paul Scholes, while Ramires is in Chelsea's starting XI after Frank Lampard picked up an injury away to Shakhtar Donetsk midweek.
