What is the team news?

Thiago Silva is Chelsea’s only injury concern ahead of the visit of Manchester United, as the Brazilian defender has been out with a thigh problem. 

Edinson Cavani, Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay could all return forUnited. Cavani and van de Beek have missed the past three matches due to muscle issues, while McTominay was withdrawn during their win at Sociedad. Daniel James will also be assessed, but Juan Mata, Paul Pogba and Phil Jones are out. 

Predicted line-ups:

Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, James, Kante, Kovacic, Alonso, Mount, Werner, Abraham 

Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Rashford, Fernandes, James, Martial

Odds: 

Chelsea: 5/4 

Draw: 23/10 

Manchester United: 12/5 

Prediction:

Both sides will be desperate for all three points, and Chelsea’s lack of a cutting edge combined with Manchester United’s ability to concede out of nothing could make for an entertaining watch – but I can’t split the two sides. 1-1 draw.
