Man Utd just need a single point to confirm their participation in next season’s Champions League competition. So long as they don’t lose this game, they will join Man City, Arsenal and Newcastle in European soccer's most prestigious tournament when the new season kicks off in August.
A win would also see the Red Devils move up to third position in the PL table, which would be an impressive cap on what has been a strong first season under Erik ten Hag. Man Utd have already won the Carabao Cup, and are through to the FA Cup final to face their Manchester rivals at Wembley, but CL qualification was always the primary goal for this season. The only obstacle to overcome now is the visit of Chelsea.
In previous seasons this may have been a matchup that Man Utd fans would fear, but Chelsea have endured one of their worst PL seasons ever this year. Currently languishing in 12th place and with a finish outside of the top 10 confirmed, the Blues seem very ready for their miserable season to be over. They will come to Old Trafford with nothing to fight for and if they perform as they have done for most of the season could be easily swept aside by a superior Man Utd team.
However, maybe don’t expect a corker in the Man Utd vs Chelsea live stream. These two historic clubs have a recent history of fairly drab matches. The last five league meetings have finished a draw, with just six goals in those games. Nevertheless, this is a game of real importance for Man Utd which should make it worth viewing.
Here are the lineups:
Man Utd (Formation 4-2-3-1): 1 de Gea, 29 Wan-Bissaka, 19 Varane, 2 Lindelöf, 23 Shaw, 18 Casemiro, 14 Eriksen, 21 Antony, 8 Bruno Fernandes, 25 Sancho, 9 Martial
Chelsea (Formation 4-3-3): 1 Arrizabalaga, 28 Azpilicueta, 14 Chalobah, 33 Fofana, 67 Hall, 30 Chukwuemeka, 5 Fernández, 23 Gallagher, 31 Madueke, 29 Havertz, 15 Mudryk
