Antonio Conte has made two changes to the side that drew against Barcelona in the Champions League as Chelsea prepare to face Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Alvaro Morata makes his long awaited return to the starting lineup, replacing compatriot Pedro. The Spaniard will lead the line for Chelsea, with Eden Hazard and Willian the wingers. Danny Drinkwater is the other change, with the Englishman replacing Cesc Fabregas in midfield.

Drinkwater reunites with N’Golo Kante in midfield, with the duo looking to recreate their heroics from Leicester City against the Englishman’s former club.
