Chelsea predicted starting lineup against Man United
Chelsea will look to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League on Sunday when they take on the Premier League side at Old Trafford this weekend.
Chelsea’s game against Manchester United has become more difficult after Erik ten Hag was sent off following a poor start to the season. Enzo Maresca will be hoping to add a big name to his already impressive start to the season at Stamford Bridge after defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.
SportyValid have predicted who the Blues will start after their disappointing performance in the Carabao Cup earlier this week.
Chelsea predicted starting 11 against Manchester United.
Robert Sanchez struggled at Stamford Bridge last week but is expected to return to the starting line-up on Sunday after receiving backing from his manager.
Reece James’ return to the squad has been a huge boost in recent weeks and he will captain the side at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Wesley Fofana returns to the defensive line as Chelsea’s defensive performance against Newcastle on Wednesday was not very good.
So Levi Colwill will be one of the first names on the team sheet this weekend. He has really improved defensively this season.
Maresca could name Marc Cucurella to replace Malo Gusto in the Premier League team sheet on Sunday. The £62m left-footed signing is key to the Blues’ balance sheet.
Is Chelsea’s midfield better without Enzo Fernandes? Moises Caicedo has gone from strength to strength at Stamford Bridge this season and will be one of the starters on Sunday.
He joins Romeo Lavia in the middle. There is a clear argument to be made that Chelsea are better off without Enzo Fernandes at the moment.
Cole Palmer will start and the creative burden could once again fall on his shoulders at Old Trafford. The right wing will be occupied by Noni Madueke who has started the campaign well and seems to be flourishing under Maresca.
Pedro Neto starts on the second wing for the Blues after his impressive performance last weekend.
Up front, Nicholas Jackson as he is set to add to his tally of six goals and three assists in the Premier League this season.
RECAP:
Sanchez, Cucurella, Colwill, Fofana, James, Caicedo, Lavia, Palmer, Neto, Madueke, Jackson.
