Manchester United are looking to build on their dominant win over Tottenham Hotspur this weekend as they make the trip to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
United boast a brilliant record against the London side in recent years and have not lost a league meeting since 2017 when Jose Mourinho was in charge.
Ahead of the game, there are a number of selection headaches Erik ten Hag will need to deal with. Most notably, Cristiano Ronaldo will not be taking part in the game after being left out due to his antics against Tottenham.
It’s unlikely that Ronaldo would have been in contention to start against Chelsea anyways considering his appalling form this season.
Marcus Rashford, who was unlucky not to score against Tottenham, is almost certain to lead the line again as he could be flanked by Antony and Jadon Sancho. Bruno Fernandes, one of the main men from the comfortable 2-0 win earlier this week, will spearhead the midfield.
Casemiro has started three consecutive Premier League games and that run will most likely continue against the Blues, with Christian Eriksen set for a comeback despite Fred’s impressive performance against Tottenham.
In the backline, it’s highly likely that Ten Hag will stick with the same four players. Tyrell Malacia, who enjoyed a promising start to the season, looks to have lost his place to Luke Shaw.
Predicted Man United line-up (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford
