Chelsea

With Chelseas transfer ban, their defence could look very similar to last season. Kepa is certain to keep his place in goal after an encouraging debut season in England.Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger and Marcos Alonso could make up the back four. Right-back Reece James, who is set to get a run in the first-team next season, is sidelined with ligament damage in his ankle.Getty8

Reece James enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell at Wigan last season

Fikayo Tomori, who played almost every minute of Derbys Championship campaign last term, could rival Luiz and Rudiger for a regular starting spot.Rudiger missed the last month of the 2018/19 season with a knee injury, but is expected to be fit for the United clash.Following Jorginhos shaky debut season at Stamford Bridge, and without Sarri at the helm, a new manager could opt to play NGolo Kante in his preferred holding midfield role.Getty8

N’Golo Kante could return to his previous role for Chelsa

Blues academy graduate Mason Mount and Ross Barkley could play slightly further ahead of Kante in a new-look midfield.New boy Christian Pulisic will have to fill the void left by Eden Hazard, who joined Real Madrid in an initial 88million deal, which could rise to 150million.Getty8

Tammy Abraham scored 26 goals on loan at Aston Villa as they won promotion to the Premier League last season

England youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi is still nursing a ruptured achilles, which could see Willian start on the left wing to accommodate Pulisic.Tammy Abraham could finally get a chance to lead the line for Chelsea after loan spells with Bristol City, Swansea and Aston Villa.8
