Chelsea vs Man United

Chelsea host Manchester United in a huge clash between two teams eager to finish in the top four, at the very least, this season.

It’s pretty clear Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be appearing for United after his actions in midweek, while Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial are working their way back to fitness. Wesley Fofana, Reece James and N’Golo Kante remain long-term injury absentees for Chelsea, while Conor Gallagher came off in the first half of their midweek draw at Brentford due to illness. On the pitch Erik ten Hag’s side were excellent in their home win against Spurs and they have now won six of their 10 games this season and there is a real togetherness about this squad. Kepa Arrizabalaga has kept five clean sheets in a row in all competitions and made some superb saves against Villa and Brentford as he’s keeping Edouard Mendy out of the team. As for United, Bruno Fernandes is getting back to his very best, while Casemiro has added extra steel in midfield and Antony is delivering real quality each and every game. Potter has had to deal with injuries to Fofana, Kante, Gallagher and James but Chelsea’s squad is deep and they look like they will easily finish in the top four and challenge to win trophies.

The weekend's heavyweight Premier League fixture sees fourth-placed Chelsea host Manchester United in fifth at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.

Both sides head into this one with confidence and are unlikely to give up much quarter. Chelsea vs Manchester United prediction Nizaar Kinsella will be providing expert analysis from the ground.

[Chelsea confirmed the £20million signing](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/breaking-chelsea-transfer-carney-chukwuemeka-24668091) of Chukwuemeka in early August. Realistically, Potter won't start Chukwuemeka in what is shaping up to be a huge match, but there could be an opportunity for some minutes at Stamford Bridge. [Those were the words](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-pogba-transfer-steven-gerrard-24729470) Aston Villa journalist Ashley Preece said to football.london earlier in the year when asked about the play-style of Carney Chukwuemeka. It was surprising to see just how quick he is when he gets going as well. Unfortunately, Chukwuemeka was unable to provide that magic touch, but he left Chelsea supporters in awe on social media with his half-hour-cameo.

The two English giants once battled for Premier League supremacy, but look set to compete for a top-four spot this season.

And whilst Mason Mount struggled at the start of this season, he is back to his best and has provided seven goal contributions in his last six outings. Raheem Sterling has not been at his best this season, but he has scored four and assisted two in 13. [Manchester United](https://www.101greatgoals.com/teams/manchester-united/) are hot on their heels with 19 points, having scored 15 and conceded 15. With N’Golo Kante out, Chelsea lack any real defensive midfield options. And whilst Casemiro has been slow in integrating at Manchester United following his switch from Real Madrid, there is no denying he is one of the best DMs in the world on his day. However, the Portuguese has been out of form for the best part of a year now.
