CHELSEA and Manchester United will be adding another chapter to their long-standing rivalry when they clash TONIGHT.
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.
