Chelsea receive defensive boost for Man Utd clash

Chelsea are counting on Malo Gusto making tomorrow's clash with Manchester United.

The fullback was forced off late in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Burnley with a knock.

But the London Evening Standard says Gusto is expected to be fit for Thursday's match at Stamford Bridge.

There were fears of a hamstring injury for Gusto, but he appears to have avoided serious damage.

For the moment, Alfie Gilchrist is seen as cover for Gusto at right-back.
