Man Utd vs Chelsea - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Manchester United host Chelsea at Old Trafford on Wednesday night
- United were abject in their 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday
- Chelsea held off Brighton on Sunday to move up to 10th in the Premier League
Once a blockbuster Premier League fixture, Manchester United vs Chelsea no longer boasts the significance of yesteryear.
After a mess of a 2022/23 campaign, Chelsea have shown signs of life at the start of their rebuild under Mauricio Pochettino. United, meanwhile, may well be coming towards the end of another cycle with Erik ten Hag at the helm.
The Red Devils were utterly abject at Newcastle to bring to a close one of the most unconvincing winning streaks you're ever likely to see. However, their recent upsurge means they head into Wednesday's game five points clear of the Blues, who beat Brighton 3-2 on Sunday.
Here's 90min's preview of United's clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Manchester United vs Chelsea score prediction
Ten Hag will be desperate for a response on Wednesday given how poor his side were at St. James' Park. However, is he the man to elicit a marked improvement in midweek?
United will surely be better on home soil, but Chelsea, with their emphasis on man-marking, can offer similar problems to Newcastle without the ball. Nevertheless, the Blues have shown in recent weeks that they're hardly bulletproof at the back, and this fixture might actually entertain for a change.
It's hard to back either side to snatch three points given their respective frailties, so we'll back a high-scoring draw.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-2 Chelsea
