Chelsea and Manchester United attack the chase for European places in the Premier League table from opposite directions as they clash at Stamford Bridge for this Premier League matchup.
Man United sit sixth in the standings, leading the charge for the Europa League spots with the Champions League places looking likely out of reach. Chelsea are 12th, which on its own feels like the season is over, but with just five points separating them from West Ham in seventh and 10 matches to go, there are still competitive positions at stake.

Chelsea had won three of their last four games before surrendering the lead twice to 10-man Burnley in an embarrassing draw last time out, while Man United also gave up the advantage in a draw with struggling Brentford, following a thrilling FA Cup win over Liverpool before the international break.
