Manchester United make the trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the EFL Cup fourth round on Wednesday night having registered back-to-back wins on their travels.
Just three days after seeing off Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League, United recorded a deserved 3-1 victory over Norwich City in the Premier League.
