Manchester United vs. Chelsea, FA Cup semi-final: confirmed lineups; how to look


Chelsea have already lost three times to Manchester United this season, twice in the league and also in the League Cup, but this is a novelty in a third different competition, so maybe it’s our turn.

One step from the final, where Arsenal and, therefore, the trophy await.

Both teams make multiple changes with various surprises, including a 3-4-3 for the Blues and perhaps the same for United as well.

Here we go!

De Gea | Williams, Maguire (c), Bailly, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka | B.Fernandes, Fred, Matić | Rashford, James
