Loftus-Cheek set for another important step towards first team return tonight

Chelsea are hosting Manchester United in the Premier League this evening in what is a massive game for the race for the top four.

Frank Lampard’s side will look to take all three points with their fate remaining in their own hands, just!

Tottenham are a point behind them in 5th place, but Chelsea have a game in hand and simply must take advantage.

Elsewhere there is growing anticipation about the long awaited return to the first team for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has been out for the long term with an achilles injury.

He features again tonight for the Chelsea under-23s against Arsenal in a game that will test his fitness before getting back into the senior squad.

Chelsea fans will likely have an eye on both matches, with the return of Loftus-Cheek literally feeling like a brand new signing in a season where his flair and creativity has been sorely missed.
