Chelsea face Man U at Stamford Bridge in just over an hour, and the teams are in!
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Man U (kick off at 20:00 GMT)
Chelsea are taking on Manchester United in a huge game in the Champions League race, and there’s some dreadful team news.
The majority of the team is as we expected – Rob Sanchez in goal, the same back four as last week. Enzo Fernandez comes back into the team after his suspension to play alongside Moises Caicedo.
Ahead of them, Estevao and Pedro Neto are the wingers. But up front is the big news – Joao Pedro is not in the squad. He’s replaced by Liam Delap.
That is a huge blow in a game like this. Delap has been so poor since signing in the summer, while JP has been one of our better players all season. It’s really hard to see this team scoring without the Brazilian in their ranks. Liam Rosenior will have to think of something really special.
Still, Delap will be delighted to get another chance to show the fans he’s not as bad as they fear.

Chelsea’s team to face Man U.
