Manchester United have known for a week that they'd be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic for their FA Cup quarter final at Chelsea.
The Swedish striker, United's top goalscorer this season, serves the first of a three game ban on Monday night. Adding to Jose Mourinho's concerns ahead of the game was the news that United's three other main striking options may also be missing for the game. Injuries to Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial were enough to keep them from making the trip to London, whereas Marcus Rashford remained in Manchester on Sunday with illness.
Despite this, Rashford does start the game, having travelled to London on Monday morning.
Marouane Fellaini, who some thought may have started for United, is on the bench.

Premier League leaders Chelsea have been able to hand a start to David Luiz, who was considered doubtful for the match after picking up a slight knee injury. Marcos Alonso also starts, despite some suggestions over the weekend that the Spaniard would be on the bench.
