How have Chelsea and United fared in the lead-up to their meeting?

Both sides will enter the contest in faltering form, with United claiming only four points from their last four matches.

Michael Carrick’s perfect record as interim manager came to an end with a 2-1 away defeat to Newcastle on March 4. Then, despite bouncing back with a comfortable 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the subsequent clash, the Reds went on to drop points by drawing 2-2 with Bournemouth and losing to Leeds United on Monday.

As for Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea side, they are enduring a particularly challenging run, having lost four of their last five games.

Such dismal results saw the London outfit drop out of the Champions League places (the Premier League are confirmed to have five as things stand) and into the Europa League qualification spot, with Liverpool now on track to beat them to the UCL.
