Chelsea vs Manchester United: A combined XI of players available for the game | Premier League 2019-20

Wide Forwards: Willian and Daniel James

Willian Borges

Due to the inconsistencies and injuries on both sides, the wings were perhaps the hardest area to choose for this combined side. Marcus Rashford would have been an obvious choice, however, he misses out due to injury.

After Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid, the responsibility of leading Chelsea's young attack fell on the shoulders of Willian, and the Brazilian has not disappointed. The winger has 4 goals and 4 assists in the league this season as he tries to lead by example. He has continued his habit of performing well in big matches as proved by his Man of the Match display against Tottenham Hotspur. This could prove to be his final season in West London as he continues to discuss a contract extension with Chelsea, but the Blues faithful will hope that he continues his good performances in the second half of the season as well.

Daniel James has struggled for form recently after a bright start to his United career. However, the young winger has still performed admirably in his first season in the top flight. He has scored 3 goals and made 6 assists this season. The other aspect of his game is the effort he brings to the pitch during the game. The winger is full of energy and presses from the front. The United fans will hope that he can get back to the level he showed earlier in the season and continues to improve.

Striker: Tammy Abraham

Tammy Abraham

Tammy Abraham's exceptional performances make this the easiest position to pick in this combined side.

The Chelsea academy graduate is having a breakthrough season in the Premier League. The striker's scoring rate has come down recently, however, he still gets into this side ahead of Anthony Martial comfortably. Abraham has scored 13 goals and made 3 assists already this season.

Abraham has established himself as one of the most important players for Chelsea. The Blues have struggled without him in the side. Chelsea fans will hope that Abraham continues to score goals and stays injury as they look to end the season on a high.
