CHELSEA VS. MANCHESTER UNITED
CHELSEA: N'Golo Kante will be given every chance to return from a hamstring injury, and he could be joined in midfield by former Leicester teammate Danny Drinkwater, who could make his first Premier League start for Chelsea. Right wing-back Victor Moses (hamstring) is the only definite absentee, with captain Gary Cahill poised to start in defence despite his early tactical substitution in the loss at Roma.
Provisional squad: Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Kante, Morata, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Kenedy, Musonda, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Clarke-Salter, Scott, Eduardo.

Wayne Rooney, Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka all return to the squad after being rested for the trip to France as does Oumar Niasse, who is ineligible for European fixtures.

Provisional Squad: Gomes, Kabasele, Gray, Britos, Kiko, Cleverley, Holebas, Mariappa, Doucoure, Richarlison, Pereyra, Karnezis, Janmaat, Wague, Watson, Carrillo, Capoue, Okaka.
