Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is being widely criticised for his team selection for today’s big game against Manchester United.
The team news is out as the Blues travel to Old Trafford for what looks set to be a hugely important clash in this season’s race for the top four.

Sarri, however, has got off to a bit of a bad start with his Chelsea line up this afternoon, at least according to most CFC fans on Twitter right now.
The two players missing and causing the biggest stir would appear to be midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and left-back Emerson Palmieri.
It’s fair to say that Marcos Alonso has not had the best season, so his continued presence in the team over Emerson is a bit of a puzzle.
One also has to wonder what Loftus-Cheek has to do to get opportunities week in, week out, having generally shone whenever he’s been involved this season.
Here’s some of the angry reaction aimed Sarri’s way…

Sarri has done his usual error again in his starting lineup by playing kovacic & Alonso ahead of in form RLC & Emerson. Losing the game even before kickoff. https://t.co/gOfYudnwdD
