United are seeking to win back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time under Ruben Amorim‘s tutelage.

It’s been ten months since the Portuguese boss took charge, where he has won just nine out of 32 top-flight fixtures.

A win in the capital this weekend would also see United momentarily move up into the top five before the rest of the games take place.

But they will be without Brazilian midfielder Casemiro as he was shown an early bath in the 2-1 victory over the Blues at Old Trafford.

The 33-year-old was shown a red card in the closing stages of the first half following bookable offences for fouls on Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos.

How long will Casemiro be banned for?

Thankfully for United, Casemiro won’t be out of action for too long.

As Casemiro was sent off for two yellow cards, United are unable to appeal against the Real Madrid icon’s red.

But the five-time Champions League winner will only miss one match, with that being the upcoming clash in west London.

He will be ready for selection against Sunderland at the Theatre of Dreams on October 4 in United’s final match before the international break.

So far this term, Casemiro has featured in each of the club’s five Premier League matches, with his only goal proving to be the winner against Chelsea.

Is Robert Sanchez suspended for Chelsea?

In the game that saw Casemiro sent off, Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was also dismissed in the first half.

The three-cap Spain international was given a straight red just minutes into the affair at the Theatre of Dreams.

Sanchez brought down Bryan Mbeumo on the edge of the box with referee Peter Bankes whipping out the red card for denying a goal-scoring opportunity.

It saw Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca react by hauling Brazilian winger Estevao off to bring on Filip Jorgensen for his first league outing of the season.

Jorgensen was subsequently named in the starting XI for the Blues’ gritty 2-1 Carabao Cup third round victory away at League One outfit Lincoln on Tuesday night.

This was due to Sanchez being banned for the match, with suspensions from the Premier League carrying over to domestic cup competitions.
