Chelsea team news

Chelsea confirmed XI v Man United: Kepa; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Cucurella; Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Chilwell; Mount, Aubameyang, Sterling

Chelsea are without long-term absentees N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and Reece James while Conor Gallagher will be required to pass a late fitness test. The midfielder was substituted a quarter of an hour into the 0-0 midweek Brentford draw due to illness.

‘We are still in the process of recovery. Pretty much as we were with Brentford. Conor trained today so we will how he is over the 24 hours,’ Graham Potter told his pre-match press conference.

Kepa Arrizabalaga should continue in goal despite Edouard Mendy having recovered from his knee injury several weeks ago. The Spanish shot-stopper has made 12 saves in the last week alone against Aston Villa and Brentford and, overall, has conceded just once from 17 shots on target faced — a league-best save percentage of 94.1% (discounting those who have faced fewer than five shots on target).

Manchester United team news

Confirmed Man United XI v Chelsea: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes; Sancho, Rashford, Antony

Harry Maguire may have recovered from his thigh injury for Chelsea v Man United but isn’t expected to break up the thriving centre-back partnership between Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.

In attack, Anthony Martial remains sidelined by injury while Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended by the club for storming off down the tunnel during the latter stages of Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Tottenham.

Ronaldo has form on that front. He also left early during a pre-season friendly against La Liga side Rayo Vallecano. In his pre-match press conference, Erik ten Hag added: “So after Rayo Vallecano, I told [Cristiano Ronaldo] it was unacceptable — but he was not the only one — so when it is the second time, that will have consequences.

“I sent a warning at the start of the season. Next time there have to be consequences. Otherwise, when you are living together, when you are playing together — and football is a team sport — you have to fulfil certain standards. And I have to control it.”

Ten Hag also confirmed that Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute against Tottenham.

The absence of Ronaldo and Martial sets the table for Marcus Rashford to continue his good form and step to the fore. He has been involved in seven goals against Chelsea in all competitions (five goals, two assists). The only teams he has a better record against in this sense are Arsenal and West Ham (both eight).
