Chelsea are on the road to Old Trafford on Thursday night with Thomas Tuchel’s men squaring up against top-four challengers Manchester United.
The Blues earned the three points against West Ham United last time around in the derby showdown at the Bridge with Christian Pulisic’s 90th-minute strike proving all important for his side.
Manchester United, meanwhile, were in store for more misery with Ralf Ragnick’s side handed a 3-1 defeat by Arsenal despite United welcoming Cristiano Ronaldo back to the team sheet.
It is expected to be a close contest between the two sides vying for a berth in the top four with the final stages of the Premier League campaign now underway.

MATCH PREDICTION
Manchester United’s woeful run of form as of late makes them the underdogs coming up against a Chelsea side that seems likely to secure the three points from Thursday night’s affair.
