Chelsea will take on Manchester United in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. The Blues are still struggling in 12th place in the league standings whereas the Red Devils are much better off in sixth and will be looking to climb further up the table.
The Blues are unbeaten since their loss against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. However, they have been unable to string enough wins together so as to climb up the standings quickly. Manchester United have won two games and drew the third after their defeat in the Manchester derby in the first week of March. Both teams will be confident of picking up a win from this clash.
