Chelsea team news

Chelsea enter the fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle United last weekend, a game in which they played over an hour with ten men following a red card to striker Nicolas Jackson. That loss ended a five-match winning streak across all competitions, including their impressive victories in both legs of the Conference League semi-final.

Unfortunately for Chelsea, Jackson will be suspended for this match, leaving the Blues short in attack. Despite this setback, Chelsea remain favorites to win, largely due to their stronger recent form and home advantage.

Manchester United team news

Manchester United have struggled domestically, enduring a seven-game winless streak in the Premier League after a 2-0 home defeat to West Ham last weekend.

Key defenders Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Ayden Heaven, and Leny Yoro are sidelined, although Toby Collyer and Jonny Evans could return to bolster the backline.
