One notable absentee for United is Romelu Lukaku who has been given compassionate leave.
There is also some good news in defence with Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw poised to feature after recent injuries.
Either Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial will be given the nod to start up front against the Bluebirds.
Solskjaer has opened up on how he will pick his first side and has admitted Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna have advised him.
The Manchester United boss explained: “It’s Michael and Kieran that’s been here for the whole season, they’ve had their say and input but there are so many game over the next 10 or 15 games.
“It’s about picking a team that is going to get results but every player needs to know they’re going to get their chance.
“Kieran and Michael have been great, it’s great being back home and seeing the development, Michael, as good a coach and man manager as he is.”
United currently sit a massive 22 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
And they trail Chelsea in fourth by 11 points after 17 matches.
