Chelsea FC hosts Manchester United on Saturday in a Halloween match-up of two clubs that spend very big, but also spend very inefficiently. Both Chelsea and United are known to splash the cash, but also not see a great return on their investment. When you have priced rosters like these, they really should be winning more trophies than they typically do. Another commonality between these two sides is injury. And given all the injuries that Blues boss Xabi Alonso is dealing with right now, here is the best team that we think he could put out on the pitch- starting up top with Danny Welbeck, while Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers support him in the attacking third.

With Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens out injured, depth is depleted in the final third. Injuries have mounted in the middle of the park, and defense as well, but we do see the likes of Malo Gusto, Moises Caicedo and Jorrel Hato shaking off their isseus and being ready to go.
