How Chelsea could line up in Premier League clash vs Man United (4-2-3-1) | OneFootball

Chelsea headline Saturday’s Premier League action as they take on Manchester United in a mouth-watering grudge match at Old Trafford.

The Blues are looking to bounce back from their crushing 3-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in their Champions League curtain raiser.

Their most recent Premier League fixture also ended in disappointment, with Brentford scoring late to deny the Blues a win in the dramatic 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Chelsea will be hoping to end their abysmal record at Old Trafford this weekend, but manager Enzo Maresca has several players on the sidelines.

How Chelsea could line up

Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile are edging closer to fitness, but the trip to Manchester is expected to come too soon. Levi Colwill, Liam Delap and Dario Essugo are long-term absentees.

Reece James could return to right back, with Malo Gusto dropping to the bench.

Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Cucurella are all in contention to complete the backline in front of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Enzo Fernandez should partner Moises Caicedo at the base of midfield, freeing up Cole Palmer to operate further forward in the number 10 position.

Pedro Neto could return on the right flank, while Alejandro Garnacho is set to make his full debut against his former employers.

Joao Pedro looks set to lead the line. The Brazilian has been Chelsea’s most productive attacker this season, with two goals and three assists in the Premier League.

He has scored three times in five games against the Red Devils.
