Chelsea VS Man United is one of the most exciting matches in the English Premier League. Although the two teams are not in their best form, this match can add extra hype around the fans. Chelsea are all set to welcome Manchester United tonight at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United are in 6th with 48 points. They are still in the race for the top four, but the hope is over for Chelsea. After 28 games, the Blues are now in 12th in the league table.
