Chelsea experienced one of the many lows of their 2023\/24 campaign on Saturday afternoon, twice surrendering a lead during their 2-2 draw with ten-man Burnley in the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The result left the Blues in the bottom half of the table ahead of another round of fixtures midweek, with Manchester United the visitors for Chelsea\u2019s fourth successive match at Stamford Bridge in all competitions.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are also enduring a torrid campaign and look as if they are going to fall short of Champions League qualification this term, with Chelsea aiming to pile on the misery this Thursday in west London.<\/p>\n

Having lost the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, here\u2019s how injury-hit Chelsea could line up against Man Utd this time round.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Chelsea will be sweating on the fitness of Malo Gusto \/ Crystal Pix\/MB Media\/GettyImages<\/p>\n

GK: Djordje Petrovic \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Robert Sanchez\u2019s latest injury setback has only solidified Petrovic\u2019s spot as the club\u2019s number one. The youngster has been impressive in his debut season in England, even if he hasn\u2019t had as much help from his defence as he would have liked.<\/p>\n

RB: Malo Gusto \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0One of\u00a0Chelsea\u2019s shining lights during a dark season, there is a chance Gusto doesn\u2019t feature against Man Utd after suffering a thigh injury on Saturday. However, Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate for the attacking full-back to start given his current defensive injuries.<\/p>\n

CB: Axel Disasi \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0If Gusto is sidelined, compatriot Disasi may be forced to play at right-back. However, the summer signing\u2019s best displays have come at centre-back this term and a battle with Rasmus Hojlund should be entertaining.<\/p>\n

CB: Benoit Badiashile \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Thiago Silva has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea and is unlikely to be used against the speedy Hojlund unless absolutely necessary. Badiashile will be a much better match for the Man Utd forward.<\/p>\n

LB: Marc Cucurella \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The Spaniard has not found life easy at Chelsea and has suffered with injuries this term, but Ben Chilwell\u2019s fitness woes means he\u2019s guaranteed a start on Thursday. Alejandro Garnacho will keep him honest down the left-hand side.<\/p>\n

CM: Moises Caicedo \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The \u00a3115m man is yet to live up to his price tag but has had the backing of Pochettino, establishing a partnership with Enzo Fernandez at the base of midfield.<\/p>\n

CM: Enzo Fernandez \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The World Cup winner can be the key for Chelsea when he\u2019s in full flight, but his form remains too inconsistent at present. However, he could dominate the midfield battle given\u00a0Man Utd\u2019s issues in the engine room this season.<\/p>\n

RW: Cole Palmer \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The English attacker has offered Chelsea hope this season, adding another two goals to his tally on Saturday \u2013 including a Panenka penalty. He scored in the reverse fixture in Manchester and is likely to be the difference-maker for the Blues.<\/p>\n

AM: Conor Gallagher \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>One of Pochettino\u2019s favourites, Gallagher continues to divide opinion in west London. He had been in a decent run of form before the international period but wasn\u2019t particularly influential against Burnley.<\/p>\n

LW: Mykhailo Mudryk \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The downfall of Raheem Sterling has proved beneficial for\u00a0Mudryk, who is now a much more regular starter for Chelsea. He scored a crucial goal for Ukraine over the international break and his confidence seems to be improving at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

ST: Nicolas Jackson \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The forward has managed to shake off the tag of \u2018flop\u2019 after an impressive run of form over the past month. He now has nine goals and three assists in the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n
