  • Injured: Mateo Kovacic    
  • Doubtful: Kai Havertz, N'Golo Kanté, Ben Chilwell

Chelsea's 4-0 win over Juventus on Tuesday night came at a cost, as N'Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell both suffered knee injuries and had to leave the game.

Both players are unlikely to recover in time to face Manchester United, therefore Marcos Alonso's recent comeback as a replacement for Chilwell is crucial.

Due to the absence of Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek may be preferred to Ross Barkley and Saul Niguez in midfield.

Former Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku was on the bench against Juventus on Tuesday and will be anxious to play against his old club.

Manchester United news

  • Injured: Raphaël Varane, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani
  • Doubtful: Mason Greenwood, Luke Shaw

Paul Pogba has fulfilled his three-match suspension but has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. Following his dismissal against Watford last weekend, Harry Maguire takes his place on the naughty step. Maguire will be replaced by Eric Bailly.

After missing the win over Villarreal in midweek due to concussion, Luke Shaw will need to be evaluated. If Shaw is fit enough to deal with Maguire's absence, Michael Carrick might revert to a back three against Chelsea. Otherwise, Alex Telles will maintain his position.

Mason Greenwood appears to be out for the second time after testing positive for COVID-19. For the visitors, Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani remain injured.

Chelsea vs Manchester United predictions

Chelsea dominated Juventus in midweek, winning 4-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League. They now turn their attention to retaining their Premier League lead, where they have won five of their past six games. They were already dangerous without star striker Romelu Lukaku, but they should be even more so now that the ex-Manchester United striker has returned.

United bounced back from the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a 2-0 win over Villarreal in Michael Carrick's first game as interim manager to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage. They must now end a Premier League skid of only one win in seven games, which includes five defeats.

United travel to Stamford Bridge this weekend, where they have gone undefeated in their last five outings, winning three and drawing two. Even with such a fantastic victory in midweek, Carrick must surely be taking a step or two too far.
