The Premier League match between Manchester United vs Chelsea will take place at Old Trafford on Thursday at 1:45 am IST.
Two struggling giants of English football clash at Old Trafford on Wednesday night as Manchester United and Chelsea face off in an enticing Premier League matchup. Manchester United suffered another setback with a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United over the weekend, while Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea regained confidence with a 3-2 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Manchester United, plagued by injuries, faced a formidable Newcastle side that outperformed them on a chilly evening. Despite a recent revival with five wins in six matches before the trip to Newcastle, Erik ten Hag’s team faltered. Dropping to seventh in the Premier League, they struggle with a meager 16 goals, the lowest among top-half teams. Home performances at the Theatre of Dreams have been inconsistent, with only two wins in the last five league games. United’s recent struggles echo Chelsea’s resilience, emphasizing the need for grit and determination in gameweek 14.
Enzo Fernandez, ending a 30-game goal drought, scored twice as Chelsea secured a 3-2 victory over Brighton in a thrilling encounter. Despite the win, the match was marred by Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher’s dismissal just before halftime. Levi Colwill contributed with a goal against his former team, while Facundo Buonanotte and Joao Pedro added goals for Brighton. The win propelled Chelsea to 10th place, showcasing unity despite playing with 10 men. Known for entertaining football, Chelsea has accumulated 12 goals in their last four Premier League games, albeit conceding 11. Their recent away form includes three consecutive wins before a 4-1 loss to Newcastle.
Manchester United probable starting lineup: Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, McTominay, Mainoo, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund
