Chelsea XI vs Man United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Chelsea had no new injury concerns ahead of today’s visit of Manchester United to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, manager Graham Potter has confirmed.

Conor Gallagher, who was withdrawn in the first half of the 0-0 draw at Brentford due to illness, has trained but does not start.

Potter told reporters on Friday: "We are still in the process of recovery. Pretty much as we were with Brentford. Conor (Gallagher) trained today so we will see how he is over the 24 hours."

It leaves just the long-term absentees Reece James (knee), N’Golo Kante (hamstring) and Wesley Fofana (knee) on the sidelines.

Potter sticks with the 3-4-3 formation he has utilised in recent weeks, with several rested stars like Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling all coming back in.

Kepa Arrizabalaga will keep his place in goal, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount in midfield.

Starting Chelsea XI: Kepa; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Cucurella; Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Chilwell; Mount, Aubameyang, Sterling
