Chelsea got two players back ahead of tonight’s Premier League clash with Manchester United as Malo Gusto shook off a knock to start.

Carney Chukwuemeka and Trevoh Chalobah returned to the bench after missing the disappointing 2-2 draw with 10-man Burnley on Saturday. Robert Sanchez is still missing.

Gusto was subbed off in the 87th minute of that match at Stamford Bridge but was deemed fit enough to start. Ben Chilwell is ruled out through illness after missing the weekend with a knee knock he picked up while away on international duty with England.

Pochettino continues with a stable Chelsea starting line-up with United, with Djordje Petrovic as goalkeeper. The back four consists of Gusto, Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile and Marc Cucurella.

Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher continue in midfield. The main decision facing Pochettino was whether to start Mykhailo Mudryk again in place of Raheem Sterling, which he does.
