Chelsea vs Manchester United Previews, Form and Players to Watch

Many Chelsea fans had high hopes for this season, but their beloved Blues have slightly let them down. Whilst on the brink of securing a place in the Champions League next season, Enzo Maresca’s men may not have thought it would have been so complicated. Chelsea sit in fifth, level on points with Aston Villa in sixth and only one point greater than Nottingham Forest in seventh. With two games remaining, it is all to play for in the Premier League. In the top tier, the Blues lost their last game away to Newcastle. However, prior to that match, Chelsea were unbeaten in six and beating the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham. Their display in the UEFA Conference League has been very impressive; the Blues have reached the final following their semi-final dominance last week. At the end of May, Maresca’s outfit will play Real Betis in the final.

What has happened to Manchester United this season? After managerial changes and new stadium announcements, the Red Devils are all the way down in 16th spot in the Premier League. Despite the 17-point gap, they are astonishingly only two places higher than the drop zone. Their form in the Premier League has been something to forget, as they have failed to pick up a win in their last seven matches. United’s only two wins since January have come against teams in the relegation zone also. However, similarly to Chelsea, they are also in a European cup final. In just over a week, Manchester United will entertain Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao for an all-English final in the UEFA Europa League.

Despite his three-month goal drought, Cole Palmer continues to showcase excellence in a Chelsea shirt. His 15 goals and eight assists in the Premier League this season have helped to spur the Blues towards that anticipated Champions League spot. Whilst his output is not necessarily as high as last season, the 23-year-old has a bright future ahead of him.

The Midfielder has 19 goals and 17 assists in all competitions this season, with 17 of those contributions coming in the Premier League. However, the captain has not picked up a goal in the league in United’s last seven matches.
