Manchester United vs. Chelsea: What To Expect

A grudge fixture for pride and for glory is what Manchester United versus Chelsea has grown to be in recent years, and all thanks to the rivalry former Chelsea and Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho brought to the premier league under the era of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Although not carrying the stakes it once did, there are still a few pride left between both clubs and teams to salvage when this fixture comes around.

Since the 2019/20 season, the Blues have been without a win against the Red Devils in the premier league, with the West-London side only able to defeat the Old Trafford side in cup competitions.

Form or no form, Manchester United have grown to have quite the upper hand in dictating how the game goes for Chelsea, which will make tonight’s game all the more interesting for fans and neutrals alike.

The two clubs both are struggling in terms of consistency this season with Chelsea currently having just 5 wins from 14 along with 4 draws and 5 losses. United on the other hand have 8 wins from 14 and 6 defeats with zero draws.

A contrasting fortune it would seem for both traditional big 6 sides, with one thing uniting them; inconsistency.

Chelsea currently have 10 players out injured or undergoing suspension, while Manchester United has 8 players on the sidelines; reasonable excuse for both team’s inconsistencies this season.

However, for this game, no excuse will determine how the result ends as both clubs go on to settle a grudge in quest for glory and bragging rights.

Manchester United vs. Chelsea is not a derby, but among fans, the bitterness has gone long enough to be anything less.

Here goes the Confirmed Lineup for both sides;
