Chelsea Confirmed Lineup vs Manchester United for Premier League Tie

Chelsea Team News

Rob Sanchez starts in goal with a back line of Reece James, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. Enzo Fernandez partners Moises Caicedo in midfield with Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, and Tyrique George up front.

Romeo Lacua is on the bench with Trevoh Chalobah, Malo Gusto, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Benoit Badiashile, Aaron Anselmino, and Josh Acheampong as the outfield players.

Notable Changes

There’s some unexpected moves as both Tosin and James come into the starting eleven as Lavia surprisingly drops out. The pairing of Tosin and Colwill has at times looked suspect in transition. A James and Caicedo pivot in-possession is an interesting one that could see either one move out right to defend space when needed.

Manchester United Confirmed Lineup

Onana, Lindelof, Mazraoui, Maguire, Mount, Fernandes, Hojlund, Dorgu, Amad, Casemiro, Shaw

Stay tuned for the Chelsea confirmed lineup. There will be news as well as discussion on who started, who was dropped, and what changes the manager could make to his setup.
