Chelsea and Manchester United are bidding for a return to winning ways in a crucial Premier League showdown tonight.
The Blues were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Manchester City six days ago as Rayan Cherki ran the show in the second half by claiming two assists.
That loss compounded by Liverpool’s win and a draw for Aston Villa left Chelsea fearing the worst with regards to their Champions League qualification hopes.
Furthermore, after three Premier League defeats in a row without scoring, Liam Rosenior could do with a win to lift the mood around the club heading into next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final.
Man United , prior to their last two visits to Stamford Bridge, had gotten the better of this fixture and did claim all three points in the reverse meeting earlier in the season when Robert Sanchez and Casemiro were both sent-off in the first half .
An interesting sub-plot for today’s clash is Chelsea supporters will protest the club’s ownership outside the ground ahead of kick-off.
Here’s everything you need to know about where to watch the match...
