The Blues enter this after a crushing 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich in midweek and look more vulnerable than the imperious unit that won the Club World Cup just months ago. They face a wayward Red Devils squad who have continued to find new lows since a shocking cup loss to Grimsby Town. Despite that, it has been 12 years since Chelsea won a league match at Old Trafford, a curse they&#8217;ll need to undo soon or they risk a third consecutive match without a win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/09\/20\/chelsea-predicted-lineup-manchester-united-september\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Manchester United for September 20<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Manchester United vs Chelsea Confirmed Lineups for Premier League Clash<\/h2>\n<h3>Manchester United Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Altay Bayindir remains in goal with a back line of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Noussair Mazraoui, and Patrick Dorgu. Casemiro is in midfield with Bruno Fernandes as Benjamin Sesko is up front, flanked by Bryan Mbuemo and Amad Diallo.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>The veteran presence of Maguire comes in for Leny Yoro while the attacking trio doesn&#8217;t welcome back either Mason Mount or Matheus Cunha, both are on the bench after missing the last outing with injury. Casemiro returns to the lineup for Manuel Ugarte.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Robert Sanches starts in goal with a back line of Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, and Marc Cucurella. Moises Caicedo partners Enzo Fernandez in defensive midfield with Estevao, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, and Joao Pedro leading the charge.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>Biggest change comes in the central pairing as Chalobah and Fofana are the chosed duo with Tosin Adarabioyo missing out. It&#8217;s a rare start at right-back for Reece James, which could be used to help in build-up with Cucurella pushing forward to support the very attacking front four.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Altay Bayindir<\/li>\n<li>Tom Heaton<\/li>\n<li>Andre Onana<\/li>\n<li>Senne Lammens<\/li>\n<li>Diogo Dalot<\/li>\n<li>Noussair Mazraoui<\/li>\n<li>Matthijs de Ligt<\/li>\n<li>Harry Maguire<\/li>\n<li>Lisandro Martinez<\/li>\n<li>Tyrell Malacia<\/li>\n<li>Patrick Dorgu<\/li>\n<li>Leny Yoro<\/li>\n<li>Luke Shaw<\/li>\n<li>Ayden Heaven<\/li>\n<li>Tyler Fredericson<\/li>\n<li>Diego Leon<\/li>\n<li>Mason Mount<\/li>\n<li>Bruno Fernandes<\/li>\n<li>Casemiro<\/li>\n<li>Manuel Ugarte<\/li>\n<li>Kobbie Mainoo<\/li>\n<li>Matheus Cunha<\/li>\n<li>Joshua Zirkzee<\/li>\n<li>Amad Diallo<\/li>\n<li>Bryan Mbuemo<\/li>\n<li>Benjamin Sesko<\/li>\n<li>Chido Obi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Chelsea Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Robert S\u00e1nchez<\/li>\n<li>Filip J\u00f8rgensen<\/li>\n<li>Gaga Slonina<\/li>\n<li>Marc Cucurella<\/li>\n<li>Tosin Adarabioyo<\/li>\n<li>Beno\u00eet Badiashile<\/li>\n<li>Levi Colwill<\/li>\n<li>Jorrel Hato<\/li>\n<li>Trevoh Chalobah<\/li>\n<li>Reece James<\/li>\n<li>Malo Gusto<\/li>\n<li>Wesley Fofana<\/li>\n<li>Aaron Anselmino<\/li>\n<li>Josh Acheampong<\/li>\n<li>Mykhailo Mudryk<\/li>\n<li>Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/li>\n<li>Cole Palmer<\/li>\n<li>D\u00e1rio Essugo<\/li>\n<li>Andrey Santos<\/li>\n<li>Mois\u00e9s Caicedo<\/li>\n<li>Rom\u00e9o Lavia<\/li>\n<li>Pedro Neto<\/li>\n<li>Marc Guiu<\/li>\n<li>Liam Delap<\/li>\n<li>Jamie Gittens<\/li>\n<li>Facundo Buonanotte<\/li>\n<li>Alejandro Garnacho<\/li>\n<li>Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/li>\n<li>Tyrique George<\/li>\n<li>Est\u00eav\u00e3o<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Squad details via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League site<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the confirmed lineups for Manchester United vs Chelsea.
