Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has named his starting line-up for the Premier League clash against Manchester United tonight.

The Blues are on a three-match losing streak and desperately need to beat the Red Devils to stay in the Champions League pursuit.

Ahead of the game, Rosenior has made two changes to the XI.

Robert Sanchez continues in goal for the Blues.

Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella start in the full-back positions, while Wesley Fofana will partner Jorrel Hato in the heart of the defence.

Enzo Fernandez returns from suspension and will partner Moises Caicedo in central midfield. Cole Palmer features in his preferred number 10 role.

Estevao Willian and Pedro Neto start on the right and left wing, respectively, while there is a surprise start for Liam Delap upfront.

Joao Pedro has been sidelined with a thigh injury.

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Man Utd: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Hato, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Estevao, Palmer, Neto; Delap.
