  "account": "Chelsea will welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge this Saturday in search of a home win in the Premier League. The Blues suffered a penalty loss in the recent EFL Cup, so they are eager to end their losing streak. Xabi Alonso will lead his team in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with several changes expected for this match. Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, and Jorrel Hato are among the players who could start the game for Chelsea.\n\nIn goal, Mike Penders will be the first choice after conceding one goal in his last match. For the back three, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, and Josh Acheampong might line up together to frustrate the opposition attackers. Olutayo Subuloye will be on the bench to replace Maxence Lacroix, who is unlikely to recover in time for this match.\n\nMidfielders Moises Caicedo and Jordan Henderson will be key players for Chelsea as they aim to control the game in the middle of the park. Pedro Neto, the right-sided wide player, and Jorrel Hato will provide width and look to make an impact. Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer will shoulder most of the attacking burden, with Romeo Lavia and Marco Palestra expected to come on as substitutes.\n\nChelsea's top scorer, Danny Welbeck, will lead the attack and must find a way to trouble Manchester United's defense. Emmanuel Emegha will start on the bench and could be brought on in the second half if needed.",
