For our game against Manchester United at Old Trafford today, Enzo Maresca has once again changed his entire Chelsea starting XI, reverting to the team that began the win over Newcastle a week ago.

The head coach made 11 changes for our Carabao Cup tie against the same opposition on Wednesday. Doing likewise today means Robert Sanchez returns in goal, with a defence comprised of captain Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill and Malo Gusto.

Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia are again the preferred Premier League midfield pairing. Cole Palmer starts a Chelsea game for the 50th time, and either side of him Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto continue on the flanks. Nicolas Jackson leads the line.

The bench includes Enzo Fernandez, Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku.

Manchester United make three changes from their midweek Carabao Cup victory over Leicester City. Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui and Rasmus Hojlund come in, with Altay Bayindir, Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee dropping to the bench.

Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, James (c), Lavia, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Cucurella, Veiga, Badiashile, Tosin, Fernandez, Joao Felix, Mudryk, Nkunku

Man Utd: Onana, Dalot, De Ligt, Mazraoui, Martinez, Ugarte, Casemiro, Rashford, Fernandes (c), Garnacho, Hojlund

Subs: Bayindir, Lindelof, Evans, Wheatley, Amass, Fletcher, Fiztgerald, Diallo, Zirkzee
