Sunday's Sky Sports Six-a-Side match-up sees Chelsea travel to Manchester United in what will be a pivotal day for the top-four race.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seen his side lose seven of their last nine matches in all competitions, with United having failed to score in their last two Premier League outings, following a 4-0 thumping at Everton and a limp display in the Manchester derby which saw Manchester City run out 2-0 winners at Old Trafford. United now sit in sixth place, three points behind their opponents on Sunday.

Maurizio Sarri's side have also failed to register a win in their last two Premier League games, drawing 2-2 with Burnley on Monday after they had been comfortably beaten 2-0 by Liverpool.

Both of these sides need a response and an ever-valuable three points in the context of the top-four race. Take a look at the contenders and select your Sky Sports Six-a-Side team…

Paul Pogba

Pogba has scored twice and created 12 chances in his last four Premier League fixtures, although he has been under some intense scrutiny due to his performances as of late.

The World Cup winner's 1850.5 Six-a-Side points thus far are over 500 more than what any other United player has registered, demonstrating the point-pulling power he can possess.

His average of 59.08 puts him in the top 10 in the Premier League, while he has racked up 765.5 points from midfield.

Eden Hazard

Hazard has notched 16 times and created 13 goals for Chelsea this season, while he has scored on three occasions and made 12 chances from his last four Premier League appearances.

He is second only to Virgil van Dijk on Six-a-Side points this term with his 2203.5, averaging 64.81 per match in that period - he has drawn the most fouls in the league this season with the 98 he has won, adding another string to his bow.

He can often bring in a reliable source of points from passing if he does not make chances or score. He has successfully earned 684.5 from passing this year, which will reward the 58.9 per cent that have backed him to shine once more at Old Trafford.

David Luiz

The Brazilian provides the unique option of Elite Player choice as he has helped his side keep 14 clean sheets, recording 350 points in the process.

His points tally for the term is quite impressive and stands at 2081, which is the fourth highest in the Premier League. The majority of these, 52 per cent, have derived from the 2164 passes he has made.
