Confirmed:Fernandes and Telles dropped,Manchester United best suitable line up to beat Chelsea (3-4-2-1)

 Chelsea won’t be an easy

 opposition with the last three 

meetings ending in draws, but 

many United stars are playing 

for their futures.

With a huge rebuild expected this

 summer, a number of players have 

a point to prove to incoming head 

coach Erik ten Hag.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

David de Gea has been one of the 

stand-out performers for United this

 campaign. He came up with a couple

 of crucial saves against the Gunners

, but was not sufficient to pick up 

points. There are no doubts over

 his position between the sticks.

Ralf Rangnick may try to match

 the Blues’ three-at-the-back formation, 

something that has been done by 

several clubs against them. In 

this case, Harry Maguire could 

be reinstated into the heart of the

 defence alongside Raphael 

Varane and Victor Lindelof.

Diogo Dalot started nervously 

against the Gunners with a couple 

of defensive errors, but had a positive

 outing thereafter. The Portuguese

 was unlucky not to find the back 

of the net, having hit the woodwork

 in both halves. He could start 

at left wing-back on Thursday.

Alex Telles had a poor outing against

 the Gunners. His mistimed clearance

 contributed to the first goal 

conceded. The Brazilian went on 

to foul Bukayo Saka in the box which

 gifted the Gunners with a penalty

. It won’t be a surprise if Telles 

is dropped to the bench.

With the limited options at Ralf 

Rangnick’s disposal, Aaron Wan-

Bissaka looks the likely choice for

 the right wing-back position. In 

the centre of the park, Rangnick 

faces a similar situation with Fred 

and Paul Pogba on the sidelines 

with injuries.

Scott McTominay had a tough 

outing at the Emirates where he 

struggled to gain possession, but 

the United graduate should once 

again line up alongside Nemanja 

Matic, who showed his class with

 a lovely assist for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bruno Fernandes had 

a dismal showing at the weekend. 

The Portuguese playmaker missed

 a clear-cut scoring chance at the 

start before squandering a penalty

 to make it 2-2.

The 27-year-old was then dispossessed

 by Mohamed Elneny in the lead-

up to Granit Xhaka’s long-range 

goal. He was eventually fortunate

 to avoid a sending off for a late

 lunge on Nuno Tavares.

We fancy Rangnick to axe him from 

the XI. It could most likely be Jadon

 Sancho and Anthony Elanga playing

 behind Ronaldo, who entered the 

Premier League record books with 

his 100th goal on Saturday.

Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-

2-1): David de Gea; Victor Lindelof

, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire; 

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay

, Nemanja Matic, Diogo Dalot;

 Anthony Elanga, Jadon Sancho; 

Cristiano Ronaldo.
