Fixture: Chelsea vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)
Chelsea have confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to take on Manchester United in a Premier League clash this afternoon at Stamford Bridge.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho has opted to select veteran striker Didier Drogba to lead the line against the Red Devils. The Ivorian will be supported by Eden Hazard, Oscar and Cesc Fabregas. Nemanja Matic will aim to dominate in midfield, while Kurt Zouma is also included in what appears to be a midfield role for the Frenchman.
On the bench Mourinho has Willian and Juan Cuadrado at his disposal should he need more creativity and penetration in the game, while Ramires is a solid option for the Portuguese if needed this afternoon.
Chelsea currently boast a seven-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, while they are eight points ahead of third placed Manchester United.
