Michael Carrick is under pressure at Man United and has been given more time to turn around the team’s poor recent form. United have won just two of 12 matches this season, drawing four.
All four draws came in the Premier League. The Red Devils drew 1-1 in three consecutive games at Fulham and Leeds and at home against Tottenham.
The Manchester side have lost their previous two matches. That run began with a 4-1 Champions League loss at Como, where United had -1 XG.
Carrick’s side were comfortably beaten 3-0 at home by Bournemouth on Sunday. The Red Devils allowed 2.15 XG, conceded twice before half time and let in a late third.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Mike Penders; Josh Acheampong, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Jorrel Hato; Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia; Pedro Neto, Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer; Danny Welbeck
Striker Joao Pedro is ruled out with a thigh injury. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, defender Reece James and attacker Jamie Gittens are injured.
Maxence Lacroix came off injured at Liverpool and is a doubt for the Man United game. Xabi Alonso issued a post-match update on the defender’s withdrawal and said:
“Too early to tell. Probably he felt something on the hamstrings. And we need a couple of days to check what's going to be the injury.”
Man United (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot; Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba; Amad Diallo, Youri Tielemans, Bruno Fernandes; Bryan Mbeumo
Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo could return to the squad following a recent injury. Defender Luke Shaw, midfielder Manuel Ugarte and winger Patrick Dorgu are injured and unavailable.
Striker Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out until 2027 following a long-term shin injury.
Verdict
Chelsea have been off the pace recently and lack consistency. Man United will want a response after back-to-back losses and can hold the Blues to a Premier League stalemate.
