Chelsea vs Man United: predicted Blues XI

Kepa Arrizabalaga of Chelsea (No.1) Goalkeeper, Spain

Arrizabalaga has only conceded one goal in the four league matches that he has played. The Spaniard has also managed to maintain one of the best save percentage in the league which is a monumental 94.10 per cent. He managed to carry his form from the Aston Villa game and saved the Blues on multiple occasions against the Bees. Unlike the other positions, Arrizabalaga starting will definitely be a no brainer.

Trevoh Chalobah (No. 14) Right Centre-back, England

Although Chalobah has the skipper competing for the same spot, he has done enough to cement his name in playing XI. In the absence of a key player like Fofana, Chalobah has managed to step up and put in top performances game after game. He has been so splendid, that the Gaffer referred to him as a solider after the game against Brentford. Also, considering the amount of pace United’s left flank generates, playing Azpilicueta may not end well.

Thiago Silva (No. 6) Centre-back, Brazil

Potter chose to rest Silva against the Bees which makes it obvious that he will see himself starting tomorrow. The Brazilian veteran has continued having great influence on the entire back line this season too and has managed to organize the defence very well. Also, considering the uncertainty around the left centre back role, the Blues will heavily depend on Silva.
