Chelsea will have their top four hopes in mind when they make travels to Old Trafford on Thursday night to square up against Manchester United.
Thomas Tuchel’s men marked a return to winning ways over the past weekend with a narrow 1-0 win over West Ham United thanks to a late strike from Christian Pulisic.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Man United –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will be poised to start between the goalposts for the visitors Chelsea with the Senegal international hoping to post another clean sheet.
At the back, expect both Andreas Christensen and Reece James to push for recalls into the first XI after minor injuries left them sidelined for the West Ham United clash.
N’Golo Kante should pair up with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the heart of the midfield with the latter likely to retain his berth on the team sheet on the back of his stellar displays.
Kai Havertz should be joined by Timo Werner in the attacking third of the pitch with the German duo poised to be joined by last match’s hero Pulisic.
