Chelsea vs Manchester United Confirmed Lineups & Team News
----------------------------------------------------------
### Chelsea Team News
All injury news for both clubs courtesy of [PremierInjuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/).
As tends to be the case with the Blues, there are a number of players sidelined beyond the suspended Mykhailo Mudryk. The back line is hit as Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah aren’t available to start. Levi Colwill has missed the entire season so far and while he is back in training, he will need to be worked up to match fitness with the U21 team before making a senior return.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has been out with a hamstring issue and his timeframe is up in the air with Filip Jorgensen initially going down with a small issue but not being seen in the squad ever since.
### Chelsea Confirmed Lineup
This will be updated when the starting eleven is publicly revealed.
### Manchester United Team News
There are some key absences which could impact Michael Carrick’s men in this one. The big problem is in the back line where Lisandro Martinez is suspended with Harry Maguire also serving a suspension which will keep two of the first-choice centre-backs out of this one.
The defensive issues don’t end there as Matthijs de Ligt and Patrick Dorgu are both sidelined which leaves the manager with very few options to mix and match his back four. Leny Yoro added to this headache, suffering an injury in training that has caused him not to travel to London for this one.
Kobbie Mainoo is a doubt with his fitness being decided with a late test, he has been doing some training but isn’t fully ready yet.
