EPL 2017/18: Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United: Combined XI

As Manchester United boss, José Mourinho has made two trips to Stamford Bridge and lost both. Today, he looked to reverse that trend against a Chelsea team in poor form. The Blues were defeated 3-0 in Rome during the week and saw this game as a shot at redemption.

The two heavyweights of English football engaged in a tactical duel with major implications for the Premier League title. Chelsea scored the only goal of the game in the 55^th minute as Álvaro Morata’s jaw-dropping header looped past a stranded David De Gea. The Blues now move into 4^th place, only 1 point behind Manchester United.

Here’s the combined XI from Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester United.

7LB: Marcos Alonso

The Spaniard was more effective in attack than he was in defence today. He was Chelsea’s main outlet down the left, and he took his wing-back role to new offensive heights.
