Chelsea Confirmed lineup vs Manchester United: Giroud starts; No Christensen in matchday squad

Antonio Conte has put in-form Olivier Giroud up top alongside Eden Hazard in a 3-5-2 lineup as Chelsea take on Manchester United in the final of the FA Cup.

Antonio Conte has also gone with a familiar defence and formation, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill and Antonio Rudiger starting in a 3-5-2 formation. There are however, no central defenders on the bench, which could have an affect on the outcome of the match, should the manager need to substitute a centre-back.

Today’s team: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill (c), Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Bakayoko, Alonso, Hazard, Giroud.

Subs: Caballero, Zappacosta, Chalobah, Barkley, Pedro, Willian, Morata. #FACupFinal pic.twitter.com/pSekQSv1cp
