Manchester United
Ruud van Nistelrooy does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Manchester United interim manager will be bereft of the services of seven first-team players vs Chelsea on Sunday.
Leny Yoro (foot), Harry Maguire (calf), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Luke Shaw (calf), Kobbie Mainoo (hamstring), Mason Mount (knock), and Antony (ankle) remain on the sidelines. Malacia and Mount are the closest to returning to action, although no player should return until after the international break.
Andre Onana is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Chelsea on Sunday. The backline should feature Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Noussair Mazraoui.
As for the midfield unit, Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte should get the nod over Christian Eriksen, with the duo keeping things tight in the middle of the park. Bruno Fernandes will reprise the no. 10 role, with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho being the two wide attackers. Finally, Rasmus Hojlund will likely lead the line for Manchester United against Chelsea.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, de Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Ugarte; Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Chelsea
Unlike his interim counterpart in the Manchester United dugout, Enzo Maresca has a new roster issue to worry about ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. The Chelsea manager will be without two first-team players on Sunday.
Jadon Sancho is the latest absentee, with the English international ineligible to face his parent club, Manchester United, due to the terms of the loan agreement. Omari Kellyman is the only other absentee, with the youngster recovering from a hamstring injury.
Robert Sanchez will take his spot between the sticks despite his recent shortcomings. Chelsea will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of the Spaniard vs Manchester United on Sunday. The backline should feature Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, and Malo Gusto.
As for the midfield unit, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia should pair up in the double pivot, with Enzo Fernandez missing out. Cole Palmer will reprise the no. 10 role, with Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto being the two wide attackers. Finally, Nicolas Jackson will spearhead the Chelsea attack against Manchester United this weekend.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
Prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Chelsea
