Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester United-Chelsea, the likely lineups

The Premier League gets into full swing with the fifth day: seven matches are played on Saturday, and among them Manchester Utd-Chelsea certainly stands out. Teams on the pitch at 6:30 pm.

Manchester United began the season with more shadows than lights. The only victory for Amorim’s team (for whom for a few days there was talk of a possible replacement with Jose Mourinho, a former then landed at Benfica) came against Burnley (3-2), followed by two defeats and a draw. To make matters worse, the resounding elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Grimsby, a fourth-tier team.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, which won the World Club Championship in the summer, on the other hand, lost its first match of the season in the Champions League, moreover against the battleship Bayern Munich, but in the Premier is still unbeaten: two wins and two draws.

Probable lineups

Manchester United (3-4-2-1): Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Amad; Sesko. Coach: Amorim.

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Cucurella, Tosin, Chalobah, James; Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo; Garnacho, Neto, Palmer; Pedro. Coach: Maresca.
