Chelsea will face arch-rivals Manchester United in a clash of titans at the Stamford Bridge in London as the caravan of Premier League 2025-26 keeps rolling. Manchester United hold the upper hand as far as their standing in the points table is concerned as they are third with 55 points in their kitty. By contrast, Chelsea are languishing at sixth 48 points.
With Liam Rosenior at the helm, he has overseen Chelsea’s only win in their last seven top-flight games, reflecting their wretched run in the recent times. Additionally, Chelsea, also known as The Blues are missing one of their best players in Enzo Fernandes after he hinted at his desire to join Real Madrid as it resulted in a ban.
While Manchester United are third in the standings, they suffered a 3-0 battering at the hands of Manchester City in their last outing makes it less than ideal as they run into Chelsea. Manchester United were also stunned by Leeds United in their backyard, making it the first home loss under Michael Carrick.
