Team News: Chelsea, Manchester United unchanged at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea, Man United unchanged

Guus Hiddink and Louis van Gaal have resisted the urge to make alterations to their respective starting lineups for Chelsea's home clash against Manchester United this afternoon.

Chelsea boss Hiddink has stuck with the same players that collected a 0-0 draw from the midweek trip to Watford.

It means that Eden Hazard remains among the substitutes along with centre-back Gary Cahill, as Kurt Zouma continues to partner John Terry in the heart of the defence.

As for the visitors, Van Gaal was evidently suitably impressed with the side that beat Stoke City 3-0 last time out.

Youngster Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has kept his place at left-back, while the attack will once again be spearheaded by in-form captain Wayne Rooney.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Oscar; Costa Subs: Begovic, Baba Rahman, Cahill, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Traore, Hazard

Manchester United: De Gea; Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson; Fellaini, Carrick; Lingard, Mata, Martial; Rooney Subs: Romero, McNair, Varela, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Pereira, Depay
