Pedro: Faces late fitness test ahead of Sunday
Pedro dealt with a minor groin injury midweek and missed the Watford match, but he trained Friday morning and manager Guus Hiddink doesn't think it's a major issue.
Analysis:
Even if Pedro is active Sunday against Manchester United, it's hard to recommend using him. The Spaniard has scored or assisted just twice in his last 17 league appearances. If Pedro can't go, Chelsea's attacking midfield will likely consist of Willian, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar, with Eden Hazard also a possibility. Fabregas will benefit the most if Pedro is out.
