English-Ghanaian defender Ayden Heaven is expected to make his first start for Manchester United under Michael Carrick in the upcoming Premier League game against Chelsea.According to the Manchester Evening News, the highly rated young centre-back is expected to partner Leny Yoro at the heart of defence.Carrick’s options are stretched, with Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire both suspended and Matthijs de Ligt still managing a back problem. That situation opens the door for Heaven and Yoro to form an inexperienced but exciting pairing in a fixture that always carries weight for United and their supporters.The duo have yet to start together as a central defensive partnership, but they will come up against a Chelsea side struggling badly in front of goal. The London club have failed to score in each of their last three Premier League games, giving Heaven and Yoro a platform to impress if they stay organised and composed.The 19-year-old defender has played 14 games and assisted one goal in the Premier League this season.
