Rudiger and James return - Three changes Thomas Tuchel could make for Man United vs Chelsea

Chelsea have just seven fixtures remaining, but the schedule remains relentless as ever as Thomas Tuchel and co travel to the North West to take on Manchester United on Thursday evening. The Blues will be hoping to end the season on a winning streak after quashing their run of home defeats following the international break with a late win over West Ham in the Premier League.

Chelsea's side has seen disruption in recent weeks with a number of injury concerns for Tuchel to contend with. Ben Chilwell, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Mateo Kovacic have all been absent at some stage over recent matches.

The German coach made four changes to his side ahead of Sunday's victory over the Irons, and Thursday could see a few more with Chelsea's remaining fixtures cast in stone and Tuchel able to plan the management of his squad more efficiently than in earlier moments of the season.
