CHELSEA and Manchester United will be adding another chapter to their long-standing rivalry – and fourth spot is up for grabs.
The Blues witnessed their five-game winning run come to an end on Wednesday, courtesy of West London rivals Brentford.
And they also saw top-four rivals United close the gap on them to just a point after the Red Devils' comfortable 2-0 win over Tottenham.
But Graham Potter's side can regain their breathing space if they can come out triumphant in this huge Premier League clash.
However, Chelsea face an uphill battle as they haven't beaten Manchester United in the league since 2017.

And Graham Potter would have been gutted to see Conor Gallagher limp off in the draw against Brentford which will more than likely see him miss this fixture too.
Elsewhere, Manchester United had the perfect outing against Tottenham – three points, a victory and a clean sheet.
But Erik Ten Hag will still be forced to continue without the services of Aaron Wan-Bisaka, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams, Anthony Martial, Axel Tuenzebe, Donny van De Beek and Phil Jones.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also out of the match after being dropped for storming off down the tunnel against Spurs.
