CHELSEA’S TEAM NEWS

The Blues are unbeaten domestically, this season, but succumbed to a 3-1 reverse to Bayern Munich in their opening UEFA Champions League fixture on Wednesday night.

Reece James played in midfield but could revert to a more familiar right-back role, while Cole Palmer is fit again, scoring and playing the full 90 minutes in Germany.

There is much debate over whether ex-Red Alejandro Garnacho will be handed a start but Estevao is another pushing for inclusion, with a myriad of options open to boss Enzo Maresca.

“Estevao can be great in all the attacking positions because his talent is very good and he is a top player,” said Maresca at his press conference. “He needs time. Both Estevao and Cole Palmer can play wide, both can play as no.10. I feel very lucky to have them both with us.

“Cole is okay. We have a session now. We need to assess some of the players. We have some doubts. 

“Marc Guiu is back with us, the intention is to use him. I think Garnacho is ready to start against Man United.”

Levi Colwill, Liam Delap and Mykhailo Mudryk are unavailable, as are Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi.
