Chelsea vs Manchester United predicted lineup.

Team News

N’Golo Kante is expected to be fit after picking up a rib injury against Burnley on Monday. Marcos Alonso could also be available for selection after missing Monday’s game with a gluteal injury.

There is a big hope to see Antonio Rudiger recover from the knee injury but Callum Hudson-Odoi’s first full season came to an abrupt end after the youngster suffered an Achilles tendon rupture against Burnley.

Probable Chelsea XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Maurizio Sarri

Kepa Arrizabalga (GK)

The world’s most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa is Chelsea’s no.1 and will start against Manchester United.

Cesar Azpilicueta (RB)

Chelsea’s skipper, the Spaniard has been a regular fixture in Sarri’s team and is expected to start at right-back.

David Luiz (CB)

Luiz is an error-prone defender, yet he is one of the first-choice central defenders under Sarri.

Antonio Rudiger (CB)

Among Chelsea’s best players, Rudiger is expected to recover from the knee injury he suffered in the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Emerson (LB)

Emerson seems to have made the left-back spot his own and deserves to keep his place in the team.

Jorginho (CDM)

Jorginho has been one of the first names on Sarri’s team sheet, irrespective of the Italian failing to live up to the expectations in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.

N’Golo Kante (RCM)

Kante’s availability will be a massive boost for Chelsea’s top four ambitions as the pint-sized Frenchman is an important figure in the team.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek (LCM)

Loftus-Cheek seems to have bulldozed his way into the starting XI with a series of impressive displays of late. He should keep his place in the team against United.

Pedro (RW)

With Hudson-Odoi ruled out for the remainder of the season, Pedro will be his natural replacement on the right wing.

Eden Hazard(LW)

Chelsea’s player of the season, Hazard has a very good record against United and the Belgian will aim to hurt Solskjaer’s team in every way possible on Sunday.

Gonzalo Higuain (ST)

Scored an absolute cracker in the 2-2 draw with Burnley. Higuain will retain his place in the starting XI.

Blues Boss Charged By FA. Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for his actions in the 2-2 draw with Burnley. Sarri was sent to the stands in stoppage time during a fractious encounter at Stamford Bridge, although assistant Gianfranco Zola felt the decision was harsh as his fellow Italian "was just trying to tell our players to get in position". The FA has said in a statement: "Maurizio Sarri has been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday's (22/04/2019) Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Burnley. "The Chelsea manager has until 18:00 on Friday (26/04/2019) to provide a response." In a separate incident, referee Kevin Friend is understood to have received a complaint over claims of racial abuse directed by members of Burnley's backroom staff towards Sarri. The alleged abuse aimed at the 60-year-old was include...

Chelsea received massive boost ahead of Man United clash N’Golo Kante picked up an injury during the draw against Burnley which saw the Premier League giants narrowly move back into the top four. N’Golo Kante and Callum Huson-Odoi both picked up knocks with the winger’s injury keeping him out for the remainder of the campaign. However, fortunately for Stamford Bridge club, Evening Standard reported Simon Johnson tweeted after the match about the French midfielder, providing an injury update on the World Cup winner. The France international was replaced in the 46th minute by Croatian Mateo Kovacic, but it was later confirmed that N’Golo Kante should be fit to face Manchester United at the weekend. This is a massive boost for the Blues’ top four ambitions as the 28-year-old is an essential figure in the club. With only three matches left for Chelsea, any positive injury news is always good as for Callum Huson-Odoi, his incredible first season has abruptly ended. Bayern Mu...

Why Sarri was called shit by Burnley backroom team. Both teams played a 2-2 draw and it was no doubt a disappointment to the Blues boss who had expected to further establish himself into the race for a top-four finish. However, Chelsea assistant coach Gianfranco Zola has hinted that the club could go ahead to report the incident to the FA for necessary actions to be taken on the matter. It would be recalled that the Blues boss was sent off after leaving his technical zone as he attempted to talk to his players at the touchline. Zola hinted that the Italian boss has been offended and he was unhappy as he defended his boss for not turning up for the match conference after the game. The game had ended in a thick atmosphere with players of both teams and officials looking very angry as they left the pitch. A win for the Blues would have helped them push for a top-four finish especially after Man United, Arsenal and Tottenham lost their games. ...
