Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to his Chelsea side to face Manchehster United. Cole Palmer replaces the suspended Conor Gallagher after the latter was shown red after picking up two yellow cards against Brighton.

Robert Sanchez continues in goal with a changed backline. Levi Colwill continues in the backline along with Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva. Marc Cucurella comes into the team having served a ban against the Seagulls, with Benoit Badiashile the figure to miss out.

Reece James takes to the bench despite returning from his suspension which he served in Chelsea's last outing.

Palmer will be the most advanced midfielder in Chelsea's side ahead of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Pochettino's front three remains unchanged as Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson provide a pacey threat to test the Red Devils.
