Chelsea XI vs Man Utd: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Carabao Cup match

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is likely to make some changes to his team for their Carabao Cup fourth round tie with Manchester United.

Willy Caballero should return in goal, while in the back four only Kurt Zouma is likely to keep his place from the win at Burnley. That means Emerson Palmieri, Marc Guehi and Reece James could get a chance to shine.

In midfield, injuries to the likes of N’Golo Kante and Ross Barkley means Lampard cannot rotate too much. As a result Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic may start, with teenager Billy Gilmour completing an exciting midfield trio.

Going forward, Lampard has a decision to make with regards to who leads the line. Both Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi are pushing to start and it will be a tight call as to who gets the nod.

On the flanks, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Pedro are likely to come in for Christian Pulisic and Willian.

Chelsea possible (4-3-3): Caballero; James, Zouma, Guehi, Emerson; Kovacic, Jorginho, Gilmour; Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi, Pedro.​
