Manchester United take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in today’s Premier League clash.

The Red Devils have a huge Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur next week.

Manager Ruben Amorim could name a weakened line-up against the Blues.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

Andre Onana is likely to start in goal ahead of Altay Bayindir, having been on the bench against West Ham United last weekend.

The backline could see a couple of changes. Leny Yoro is injured while Noussair Mazraoui could be benched amid fitness issues.

Victor Lindelof and Tyler Fredricson could come into the back three alongside Luke Shaw, who may not play the full 90 minutes.

Amad Diallo started at right wing-back last weekend. There could be a straight swap with Patrick Dorgu featuring in the role tonight.

Harry Amass is poised to feature from the left wing-back position.

In midfield, we anticipate a change with Manuel Ugarte making way for Casemiro to partner Kobbie Mainoo against the Blues.

Further forward, Mason Mount could be partnered by Alejandro Garnacho. Chido Obi Martin is likely to lead the line against the Blues.

Bruno Fernandes could be rested in the lead-up to a crucial final. 

Rasmus Hojlund could likewise start on the bench. He is the only fit striker for the Europa League final with Obi ineligible to play in Europe. Joshua Zirkzee has been ruled out for the campaign with a hamstring injury.

Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Chelsea: Onana; Fredricson, Lindelof, Shaw; Dorgu, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amass; Mount, Garnacho; Obi.
