Chelsea vs. Manchester United: Live stream, Time & How to watch

A key contest in the hunt for Champions League football takes place under the lights at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night, as Chelsea do battle with Manchester United in the Premier League.

Following their 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in September, the Red Devils are looking to complete the top-flight double over the Blues for just the second time after the 2019-20 season.

United have lost two of their last four Premier League matches (W1 D1), as many as in their previous 22 fixtures (W12 D8), and they are in danger of losing back-to-back top-flight games for the first time this season – league leaders Arsenal are the only other team yet to lose consecutive games in the division.

Defensive improvements will be vital for a positive result on Saturday, given the Red Devils have kept just three clean sheets in 13 Premier League matches since the turn of the year, and only one shutout in their last 21 games on the road.

As for United, they will be without first-choice centre-back pairing Martinez and Maguire due to suspension. Maguire was due to return from a one-game ban this weekend, but he has been handed an additional one-match suspension for improper conduct following his dismissal at Bournemouth last month.

Fellow centre-back Matthis de Ligt (back) remains sidelined through injury, so Ayden Heaven could be tasked with filling in at the heart of the defence. Luke Shaw is set to continue at left-back, while Diego Dalot will hope to replace Noussair Mazraoui at right-back, although one of those three may have to fill in at center back given recent developments.
