Chelsea could be without as many as nine first-team players on Thursday when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag's side only need one point from their final two Premier League matches to ensure they qualify for the UEFA Champions League. They face an out-of-form Chelsea and Fulham before the season ends.
United will be mindful of keeping their players fit for the upcoming FA Cup final, once a top-four spot has been sealed. Chelsea, on the other hand, have little to play for and are without several key players.
