Saturday, 18 April 2026
Kick-off is at 20:00
After suffering defeat against Manchester City in their most recent Premier League outing, Chelsea will now shift their focus to a resurgent Manchester United outfit on home soil this Saturday.
As it stands, Chelsea currently occupy sixth on the log after accumulating 48 points from 32 matches played. The Blues suffered a 3-0 loss against City this past weekend, a result that marked the London club's third consecutive defeat.
Chelsea also finds themselves four points away from UEFA Champions League qualification, having recorded one victory and four defeats in their previous five league ties.
United, who will host Leeds United on Monday night, will hope to return to the winning column following their 2-2 away draw with Bournemouth on 20 March.
The Red Devils currently occupy third position on the log, with 55 points from 31 games as they look to qualify within the UEFA Champions League places this season.
Amid a resurgence under Micheal Carrick, United recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five matches ahead of their clash against Leeds at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Speaking after Chelsea’s damaging loss to Manchester City, Liam Rosenior hinted at his side showcasing a lack of resilience following a positive first-half performance in his estimation.
“Massively disappointing, especially from our first half performance,” reflected our head coach. But it's happened too many times [that we've conceded two goals in quick succession],” Rosenior said.
“Man City start the second half better than us; that can happen against a good team. But what you can't do is concede two goals in the manner that we did, so quickly after one another.
“Again, it comes down to resilience in difficult moments and seeing those moments through and making sure you're still in the game.”
