Chelsea v Man Utd team news: Alonso starts as Mount, Havertz and Ronaldo benched

In the final match of Gameweek 13, Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around the hosts backline.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Chelsea, who have conceded just four goals in 12 league matches this season, make four changes from Gameweek 12, with Marcos Alonso (£5.6m), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.4m), Hakim Ziyech (£7.3m) and Timo Werner (£8.6m) replacing Ben Chilwell (£5.9m), N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), Mason Mount (£7.5m) and Kai Havertz (£8.0m).

That means another start for Reece James (£6.2m), who has four goals and four assists from nine Premier League appearances this term, plus Trevor Chalobah (£4.8m). As a result, Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.8m) is once again a substitute, along with Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) who is back from injury.

The headline news for Man Utd, who will have Michael Carrick in the dugout, is that Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) drops to the bench with Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m), Jadon Sancho (£8.9m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) preferred in the attacking roles.

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, James, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Alonso, Ziyech, Hudson-Odoi, Werner

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Christensen, Lukaku, Pulisic, Saul, Barkley, Mount, Azpilicueta, Havertz

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Bailly, Telles, Fred, Matic, McTominay, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford

Subs: Henderson, Jones, Ronaldo, Mata, Martial, Greenwood, Lingard, Dalot, Van de Beek

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Because Utd has seven defensive players

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I agree, if we discount De Gea, the entire defence, the midfielders and Werner

    5. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      MU players who’d make this Chelsea team?
      Bruno, Rashford when fully fit. No One else on this seasons form for me.

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Season’s form is crucial here but what are these Chelsea players? That team would beat a lot of others in the league for some reason but it looks quite like a cup line-up.

      More expensive ≠ better

      James & Rudiger fortunate not to have yellows.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ziyech too. One more foul from him will do it i reckon.

    8. BeWater
      • 3 Years

      When Alonso isn't on the ball he runs straight to the penalty spot everytime. Including when Mendy is taking a goal kick.

      Rudiger getting closer and closer to that banger he oh so wants.

    19. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Rudiger is probably one to get over Alonso

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Both with James is the punt

    26. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nobody likes Werner in this Chelsea team.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Not even Werner

      CHO needs to be subbed off if he remains that selfish
