The Red Devils have had a poor start to the campaign and they have picked up only 11 points from their opening nine league games.

The club entertain the Blues in the Premier League this weekend and ahead of the game, they have suffered another potential setback.

Eriksen has not made the matchday squad for the Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Leicester City tonight due to an apparent injury.

He is now doubtful for the weekend game against the Blues. His absence would be a blow, considering his impact this campaign.

Eriksen has been one of the club's best goal contributors. He has four goals and three assists in all competitions in the current season.

If he is deemed unfit, Manuel Ugarte could continue to partner Casemiro in the centre of the park against Enzo Maresca 's side on Sunday.
