Chelsea vs Man United Combined XI Revealed: Sesko & Mainoo out, Fofana & Caicedo in

Manchester United will travel to London tomorrow to face Chelsea in the Premier League.

Both sides are looking to secure UEFA Champions League football for next season by finishing in the top five places.

United sit third in the league table, seven points ahead of Chelsea.

With just six games remaining, every point now carries enormous weight in this tightly contested race.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Goalkeeper

Senne Lammens

While Robert Sanchez has shown a worrying tendency to make costly errors, Lammens offers greater reliability and long-term promise.

Defence

Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella

Reece James remains out with a hamstring injury, paving the way for Malo Gusto to start at right-back for Chelsea.

Dalot is a better full-back, with his ability to dominate duels and make progressive passes.

Cucurella just about gets the nod ahead of Luke Shaw on the opposite side of defence.

With Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez suspended, United head coach Michael Carrick faces a major defensive headache.

Leny Yoro struggled against Leeds but retains his place largely due to limited alternatives.

Apart from the win over Port Vale, Chelsea have leaked nine goals in the last three matches started by Jorrel Hato. Wesley Fofana may not be at his best, but he still gets the nod over the inexperienced Ayden Heaven.

Midfield

Casemiro, Moises Caicedo, Bruno Fernandes

There remains uncertainty over the fitness of Kobbie Mainoo, while Andre Santos is still developing.

Enzo Fernandez has been solid but we cannot look beyond Casemiro and Caicedo.

Casemiro has scored the same number of goals as Fernandez and continues to influence the game more strongly.

Caicedo is one of the best holding midfielders and cannot be ignored.

Bruno Fernandes is arguably the best attacking midfielder in the league and no one can replace him.

Attack

Matheus Cunha, Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo

Pedro Neto and Cunha have posted similar numbers but the Brazilian possesses an ability to produce decisive moments.

Benjamin Sesko is in lethal form under Carrick. However, Pedro gets the nod to lead the attack after scoring 14 goals and providing five assists this season.

The right flank remains a concern for both sides, with Cole Palmer more effective centrally and Amad Diallo struggling for form.

Bryan Mbeumo is also enduring a dry spell, having failed to score in his last seven matches.

This is when we rely on data, which confirms that Mbeumo contributes more to overall play than his counterpart.
