How Chelsea could line up against Manchester United

How Chelsea could line up against Man United

Chelsea manager Graham Potter should tinker with his side for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues remain without the trio of Wesley Fofana (knee), Reece James (knee) and N'Golo Kante (thigh) for the long-term, and Conor Gallagher left the pitch with 15 minutes gone in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Potter played down fears of an injury for the England man, who was taken off after feeling under the weather, and he has been training normally ahead of this match.

Kepa Arrizabalaga put in another strong showing in the West London derby and will keep Edouard Mendy at bay again, while a well-rested Thiago Silva should come back into the rearguard.

Kalidou Koulibaly may be the unfortunate one to drop out as Cesar Azpilicueta and Trevoh Chalobah seek to hold their places, and Mateo Kovacic should immediately come back in for Gallagher in the middle.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is seemingly set to continue as a wing-back, unless Potter decides to shift Azpilicueta into that role, while Ben Chilwell was given a break in midweek and will now aim to displace Marc Cucurella.

Mason Mount is a shoo-in up front, where full debutant Armando Broja and Kai Havertz should drop out, allowing Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to return.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Silva, Chalobah; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic, Chilwell; Sterling, Mount; Aubameyang
