[Teams] Man Utd vs Chelsea: Confirmed Line-Ups

Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford tonight for the first big clash of the new Premier League season. 

United boss David Moyes has decided to start striker Wayne Rooney despite interest from tonight’s opponents, as he plays just behind Robin van Persie tonight.

Jose Mourinho has surprised many by not starting with a recognised striker as Andre Schurrle starts in the ‘false 9’ role up top. Juan Mata is on the bench as Demba Ba and Victor Moses fail to make the squad.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Man Utd Team

De Gea, Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Cleverley, Valencia, Rooney, Welbeck, Van Persie.

Subs: Lindegaard, Smalling, Büttner, Anderson, Giggs, Young, Kagawa

Chelsea Team

Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, De Bruyne, Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle.

Subs: Schwarzer, Azpilicueta, Essien, Mikel, Mata, Lukaku, Torres
