A Chelsea star is already thinking of slamming the door because of Xabi Alonso

It’s the shock of the afternoon in the Premier League. Chelsea host Manchester United this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. for the 9th day, a match to follow live with commentary on our site. After losing in the English League Cup against Liverpool and last week against Tottenham, Xabi Alonso’s men must resume their march forward to stay in touch with the top 4. For their part, the Mancuniens remain on 8 poor performances in a row.

To do this, the Spanish technician aligned a 3-4-3 with an attack made up of Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Estevao. After missing his shot on goal against Liverpool, Fofana once again has the confidence of his coach and starts with Colwill and Acheampong. On the MU side, Mbeumo starts at the forefront supported by Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Cunha. Baleba and Santos organize the double pivot.
