The match will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Penalty in match YES<\/h3>\n<p>There has been at least one penalty scored in five of the last seven Premier League meetings between these sides, totalling six spot-kicks during that time.<\/p>\n<h3>Draw and BTTS<\/h3>\n<p>Six of the last nine meetings between these sides have ended in a draw, with four of them score draws. There hasn\u2019t been a clean sheet in any of the last seven editions of this fixture.<\/p>\n\n<h2>How both teams go into Chelsea vs Man Utd<\/h2>\n<p>After a serious wobble, Chelsea seem to be back on the march to success. The Blues recently thrashed Djurgarden 1-4 away in the first leg of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/europa-conference-league\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Conference League<\/a> semi-final clash.

The Red Devils lead Athletic Bilbao 3-0 going into the second leg of their semi-final, following on from a dramatic quarter-final win over Lyon. In the Premier League, they\u2019re six without a win, picking up just two points and drifting to 15th during that time.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea team news<\/h3>\n<p>Wesley Fofana is out for the season, but Chelsea will hope to have Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu available for this match.<\/p>\n<h3>Man Utd team news<\/h3>\n<p>Ayden Heaven, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt and Toby Collyer could all return against Chelsea. However, Man Utd will be without Joshua Zirkzee and Lisandro Martinez for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea vs Man Utd head-to-head<\/h3>\n<p>The last nine meetings between these sides have either been won by the home side or ended in a draw. It was a 1-1 stalemate at Old Trafford earlier this season, with a Bruno Fernandes penalty cancelled out by Moises Caicedo.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"8\"><strong>Chelsea vs Man Utd H2H<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Score<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Competition<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">03\/11\/24<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">04\/04\/24<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Chelsea 4-3 Man Utd<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">06\/12\/23<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">25\/05\/23<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Man Utd 4-1 Chelsea<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">22\/10\/22<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea and Manchester United go head-to-head in the Premier League on Friday 16th May at 8:15pm.
