Manchester United responded well following the sack of their manager Erik ten Hag. They made a 5-2 scoreline in their favour in the EFL Cup against Leicester City. Their latest win must allow them to keep their heads high and prepare for the tough upcoming fixtures.
The Red Devils have their next challenge against Chelsea at home in the Premier League this Sunday. While the Blues might be termed as favourites by the majority of football pundits, one can’t underestimate what United can do at Old Trafford with the support of their home crowd.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Chelsea
Defence
Altay Bayindir had a mixed performance as the gloveman and he should be making way for Andre Onana. The latter has been the first-choice man to operate between the sticks.
Diogo Dalot continues to play as the right-back in the lineup. However, Lisandro Martinez is likely to return to his centre-back position to partner up with Matthijs de Ligt. It also means Victor Lindelof will be sent to the bench as Noussair Mazraoui takes the left full-back role.
Midfield
Casemiro was brilliant in the previous game where he scored two goals. He is likely to continue in the midfield with Manuel Ugarte. Though the latter might face competition from Christian Eriksen alongside Amad Diallo.
Attack
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho will be operating on the wings. They can also switch sides as per the situation of the game. Bruno Fernandes remains an undisputed pick to feature in the middle as the bridge between the midfield and the attacking line.
Rasmus Hojlund is expected to walk back into the XI replacing Joshua Zirkzee, who looked shaky and not fit enough for this level.
The likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, and Antony are unavailable for this game.
