Chelsea will face off against Manchester United at Old Trafford this Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Blues managed to secure a 3-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion recently which will keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.
Mauricio Pochettino will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could be inclined to name a strong first XI for this game. Noni Madueke will get a chance to play from the start of this contest while Mykhailo Mudryk makes way for him and drops to the bench.
4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Manchester United
Defence
Robert Sanchez will function in between the sticks for the Blues after conceding two goals in his last league outing. Benoit Badiashile will operate alongside Thiago Silva at the centre of Chelsea’s backline as they focus on keeping things tidy at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Axel Disasi will fill in as the right-back while Levi Colwill hopes to put in another productive display on the other side as the left-back. Both of them need to be at the top of their game if they want to restrict the opposition from creating chances from the wide areas.
Midfield
Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo will play as the holding midfielders as they look to make life tough for the home team at the centre of the park. The gifted trio of Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke will operate just ahead of them as part of Pochettino’s attack. All three of them have to find a way to create enough chances in the final third if Chelsea are to emerge victorious in this league contest at Old Trafford.
Mykhailo Mudryk and Ian Maatsen will have to settle for a place on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Nicolas Jackson will spearhead Chelsea’s attack on the offensive end of the field. He has to find a way to cause a few problems for the Man United defenders this week.
Armando Broja will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if required.
