MC) John Obi Mikel
Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Nemanja Matic will not start against United, out of respect for the current players. As a result, we expect Mikel to start at the base of the Chelsea midfield, anchoring the side. David Luiz is also an option, but Mikel is more defensively solid, and will be a safer selection.
MC) Ramires
Ramires is an ever present in the Chelsea midfield when fit, and provides constant box-to-box energy for the entire 90 minutes. Lampard is likely still unavailable, meaning the Brazilian is pretty much an automatic selection.
