RESERVES : TUANZEBE READY FOR CHELSEA TEST

Manchester United's Reserves travel to Aldershot tonight for the club's final Premier League 2 fixture of 2016 - away to Chelsea.

The Friday-night fixture, which kicks off at 19:05 GMT and will be shown live on MUTV, offers another opportunity for the Reds to pick up a first win on the road in the new competition and a repeat of last season's 1-0 victory would of course be welcomed.

Reserves captain Axel Tuanzebe has good memories from that game, when Matty Willock's strike secured the points at Stamford Bridge, and he is keen for a similar performance at Aldershot's Electrical Services Stadium.

"Chelsea are always a strong side and they've always got physical, talented players," the centre-back told ManUtd.com. "It'll definitely be a challenge to see if we can get the win.

"I played defensive midfield there last season, marking Kasey Palmer, who is a talented lad. I had to do a job for the team, a difficult job as he's a tricky player, and I had to be disciplined in more of a holding role instead of joining up with the attacking play.

"These are the things we'd been told in the analysis of the team so you have to learn and also understand these roles because you might be asked to do them again in the future. I've done that [job] since for England as well so it's good to have that in your locker.

"We won 1-0 last season, even though we were already champions. That shows the nature of Warren Joyce because he doesn't give up until the very end of the season. Regardless of us winning the championship, he wanted us to put on a perfect finish with a win and it's always important to end things on a high."

Nicky Butt is still in interim charge of United's Reserves following Warren Joyce's switch to Wigan Athletic and the coach is likely to be without influential full-back Joe Riley, who pulled up with a hamstring problem at Reading last time out. Callum Gribbin made his first start of the season at this level in that game and impressed but the midfielder might not be involved as he will be required for FA Youth Cup duty on Monday against Southampton at Old Trafford.

United's Reserves still have two Premier League International Cup games to play before Christmas - against Sparta Prague on 15 December and Middlesbrough a week later, both at Leigh Sports Village.
