How to Watch Chelsea vs. Man Utd on TV, Live Stream
It's now or never for Chelsea in the Premier League's top-five race, as they're aiming to avoid a fourth consecutive top-flight defeat.
While this is no longer a fixture that shapes title races, there's no overlooking the significance of the upcoming bout at Stamford Bridge. The Blues, given their precarious financial situation, really can't afford another season away from Europe's premier club competition, and they could end the weekend all the way down in 10th should they lose on Saturday night.
Manchester United, meanwhile, risked being sucked back in to the scrap, having flirted with pulling away from the chasing pack before the international break. Should they triumph in west London, Chelsea's deficit to the Red Devils will be just four points with five games to go.
There was plenty of action when these two previously locked horns at Old Trafford, with both teams having men sent off on a sodden Manchester day. United edged the contest 2–1, largely thanks to Robert Sánchez's early dismissal.
Here's how you can watch the latest installment of a historic Premier League fixture.
