Manchester United return to action tonight with the final game from the midweek Premier League as Erik Ten Hag’s side face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
This evening will see two crucial fixtures that could determine the final standings at both ends of the table, as elsewhere, title favourites Liverpool welcome bottom-place Sheffield United to Anfield.
Ten Hag’s United narrowly missed out on a win at the weekend after a last minute equaliser from Brentford’s Kristoffer Ajer cancelled out Mason Mount ’s injury time goal, a huge blow to the Red Devils’ chances at Champions League football. The returning midfielder could be in contention to face his old side this evening as he makes his way back into the team following a long stretch out due to injury.
Chelsea also earned a point in their weekend fixture against 10-man Burnley thanks to two goals from Cole Palmer. The England man buried a Panenka penalty to give Mauricio Pochettino ’s struggling side a lift on the stroke of half time.

Chelsea will be feeling the pressure this evening having failed to register a league win against United since November 2017. The reverse fixture in December saw United secure a 2-1 win as Scott McTominay scored two goals either side of half time.
Sixth place United could close the gap between them and Tottenham, with a win taking them six points behind Spurs but no further up the table with seven games to play, while Chelsea could jump three places to ninth if they take all three points and win by at least three goals. United will then face second-place Liverpool on Sunday, while Chelsea play relegation contenders Sheffield United.
