The Premier League features a massive fixture between two bonafide European giants this weekend as Manchester United lock horns with Chelsea in a crucial encounter at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Chelsea vs Manchester United Preview
Manchester United are currently in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The Red Devils defeated Tottenham Hotspur by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side played out a 0-0 stalemate against Brentford this week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction
Manchester United made a massive statement against Tottenham Hotspur this week and will be intent on establishing their top-four credentials against a direct rival. Erik ten Hag has been impressive at the helm so far and is unlikely to tinker with a winning combination ahead of this match.
