Chelsea team vs Man United confirmed: Kante fit, Alonso starts but no Loftus-Cheek in XI

Chelsea have a massive chance to make their stamp on the Premier League's top four race as they take on Manchester United this afternoon at Old Trafford.

With Arsenal losing 3-0 at Leicester City it means three points will put them in complete control going into the last two games of the season, while even a point will still keep them in a good stead.

If they lose then they will still be above United on goal difference, depending on the result, which would mean that even then they would still have the qualification in their hands with Watford and Leicester City to go.

However, when Chelsea have been given chances before they have not taken them and that has been a big issue for why they haven't already sealed a top four spot.

Here is the team that Maurizio Sarri has selected to try to get three points in Manchester.

Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Hazard, Higuain.

Subs: Caballero, Christensen, Barkley, Zappacosta, Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Giroud
