No Fabregas, No Costa – Chelsea Likely Line Up For Manchester United

Chelsea needs to respond after their draw at Stamford Bridge against Watford as they need to keep their top Four ambition alive. The Blues will play will an equally horrendous manchester United side as the Red Devils look to save the job of Louis Van Gaal.

There are wide reports that the Dutch tactician failed to turn up for the training session of this morning and if this is true, Chelsea will have the psychological advantage of United.

Chelsea have a relatively larger squad than United who have up to seven players sidelined with injury. However, there are reports that Fabregas is out with fever and Hazard a major doubt for the game.

We bring Chelsea probable line-up vs Manchester United.

Goalkeeper

Thibaut Courtois place in the team is indisputable and he will start in goal this evening.

Defence

We think Hiddink will stick with same defence that played Watford last weekend. On the right back Ivanovic will start while we’ll have Azpilicueta on the left back position. In the heart of defence, we expect Terry and Zouma.

Midfield

Spain international Cesc Fabregas is out of the game with fever and Mikel will expectedly take his place. The anchor man will be Matic to play in front of the defence. We expect Oscar to retain his place as the creative hub of the team.

Attack

Chelsea are without Costa who is suspended for the game and Remy is expected to take his place as the lead attack. On the flanks we are sure to see Willian and Probably Pedro since Hazard is a doubt for the game.
