Chelsea vs Man Utd: how the Blues can line up without Antonio Rudiger

Chelsea FC will host Man Utd at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as the EPL returns.

The Blues currently have 20 points and are seated at the second spot on the EPL table having defeated Southampton at the St. Mary’s stadium prior to the international holiday break.

Chelsea will play against the Red Devils that have been seriously struggling to perform this season.

The Blues are expected to defeat Man Utd on Saturday but the Red Devils can be unpredictable especially after their unexpected victory over Newcastle United before the international holiday.

Sarri’s first eleven players are in top form except for the Blues center back, Antonio Rudiger, who has a groin injury and he is likely to be replaced by Gary Cahill.

Matteo Kovacic is expected to replace Ross Barkley in the midfield.

Below is how Chelsea can line up:

Goal Post: Kepa Arrizabalaga will cover this area.

Defense: Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azplicueta will play in the left and right back wing while David Luiz and Gary Cahill will take care of the centre back.

Midfield: the trio of Mattei Kovacic, Jorginho and Kante will return.

Attack: Eden Hazard and Willian will take the left and right wing while Olivier Giroud will play at the forefront.
