Team news for United v Chelsea

CHELSEA TEAM NEWS

Enzo Maresca has been heavily rotating his starting XI for the cup competitions and he made 11 changes for Wednesday's 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat at Newcastle.

Noni Madueke was the only one of the nine substitutes to be introduced, as Cole Palmer was unused, with Maresca explaining this was due to positive performances up front from Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku.

"Simply because I think Joao [Felix] and Christo [Nkunku] were doing very good," he said. "The reason why [we brought him] was in case we needed Cole but Joao and Christo were doing well so there was no need to change."

Jadon Sancho was not included, due to illness, and he is ineligible for Sunday's game as Premier League rules dictate that players cannot face their parent club. Omari Kellyman has a hamstring strain and will have to wait to make his Blues debut.
