Enzo Maresca has brought back his Chelsea big guns for their Premier League showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Maresca made 11 changes at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and his second-string side slumped to a 2-0 defeat.
Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson are among those to return to the side.

Jadon Sancho is not available as part of the terms of his loan deal from United, with Pedro Neto keeping his place on the left.
Reece James continues at left-back, as he did in the 2-1 Premier League victory over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.
Chelsea have no fresh injury concerns so Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill are back in at centre-back.
Noni Madueke also starts at Old Trafford, where the mood has been lifted by the thumping midweek victory over Leicester and the appointment of Ruben Amorim, though the new head coach will not take charge until the international break later this month.
“They are all available apart from Jadon, who has been ill in the last days,” said Maresca at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
