Chelsea are at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 31, against Manchester United in a pivotal Premier League Matchweek 9 clash. Both sides are seeking to bounce back from poor form, with Chelsea losing out to Tottenham and Liverpool, and United trying to break a poor run under Michael Carrick.
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso will be hoping to get his side back on track, while Carrick will need a positive result to take the strain off his job. Both managers have key decisions to make as the match begins at 12:30 p.m. GMT.
Chelsea predicted XI: Mike Penders; Josh Acheampong, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto; Jordan Henderson, Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo; Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers.
Alonso is likely to be welcoming Palmer back after the England international missed the Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday due to suspension. Gusto and Caicedo will also be available despite fitness issues at Anfield.
Manchester United predicted XI: Senne Lammens; Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot; Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba; Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount; Matheus Cunha.
Carrick is likely to bring on Fernandes after he left his captain...
