Last season saw Chelsea dramatically beat Utd 4-3, with Caicedo's mistake handing Alejandro Garnacho the first of then Ten Hag's side on the night.
Cole Palmer scored twice in injury time to turn the game from a 3-2 loss to a 4-3 win, and former Blue Mason Mount squared up to Enzo Fernandez to get the crowd going.
SunSport can reveal why Moises Caicedo is wearing a mask for the clash tonight.
Moises Caicedo sustained a cheek injury against Newcastle last weekend.
The Blues were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle.
Caicedo will wear the mask as a precaution for at least the game tonight.
