Antonio Conte described Tuesday night’s draw with Barcelona as the ‘near-perfect’ performance from his side.
He now has to prepare his team for a trip to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The meeting against Jose Mourinho’s side is a crucial one in the race to finish inside the top four.
Three points at Old Trafford could see Chelsea move level with second-place United, with the race for a Champions League place hotting up.
Here is how we think the Blues will line up at Old Trafford.
GK - Thibaut Courtois
There’s no rest for the Belgian, who started against Barcelona on Tuesday.
RWB - Victor Moses
Conte may opt to use Davide Zappacosta here but I think he could name the strongest possible team against United.
CB - Cesar Azpilicueta
Played an unfortunate role in Lionel Messi’s first goal against Chelsea but he’ll be looking to bounce back at United.
CB - Andreas Christensen
Conte has put his faith in the young Dane this season and that’ll continue at United, despite his mistakes against Barcelona.
CB - Gary Cahill
Cahill missed the game against Barcelona but he could come back into the side against United.
LWB - Marcos Alonso
Alonso was excellent against Barcelona and it is unlikely that Conte will want to risk Emerson against United.
CM - N'Golo Kante
Kante impressed against the Catalan side with a disciplined performance, Conte will be hoping for more of the same.
CM - Cesc Fabregas
Tiemoue Bakayoko remains a doubt for the Old Trafford clash, meaning Fabregas is the most likely to start.
Drinkwater could be given the nod after coming off the bench on Tuesday.
RW - Willian
The Brazilian is enjoying a fine run of form and is likely to be one of the first names on the team sheet.
LW - Eden Hazard
The Belgian is likely to return to his more natural left-sided berth after starting as a false nine against Barcelona.
ST - Oliver Giroud
The Frenchman could start after impressing since joining the club. He would also allow Conte to utilise Hazard out wide.
