Chelsea vs Man Utd injury news as 8 ruled out and 6 doubts

Chelsea turn their attention back to Premier League action on Saturday when they face out of form Manchester United. The Blues lost on penalties to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup during the week, and that followed a defeat to Tottenham in the league last weekend.
