Fixture: Chelsea vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)

Chelsea have officially announced their starting eleven and substitutes to play Manchester United in a Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The Blues have won their last two games on the bounce, beating Hull City and Leicester City, scoring five goals and not conceding. A win over Manchester United would move Antonio Conte's men up to 19 points, just one behind the league leaders, after nine games.




To take down Manchester United, the former Italy coach picks David Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill, who takes the armband, as his back three. Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses are handed attacking roles on the flanks, while Nemanja Matic and N'Golo Kante look to control midfield. Pedro Rodrigiuez, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard offer the attacking threat.

The experienced John Terry is on the bench, while Willian, Oscar and Michy Batshuayi offer attacking options for Conte if he needs to chase the game at any point today.
