Chelsea vs Manchester United
England- Premier League
Date: Monday, 17 February 2020
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Stamford Bridge (London).

Chelsea and Manchester United meet at Stamford Bridge and a win will be crucial for both sides in their push for a top-four finish

Chelsea will look to avenge the 4-0 defeat they suffered on the opening day of the season when they host Manchester United on Monday night.

The Blues occupy the fourth Champions League qualifying spot but a recent run of one win in five league games, including no victories in their last three, has seen Tottenham close the gap to one point.

United have struggled for consistency all season and are also without a win in three but victory at Stamford Bridge would move them within three points of the Blues.
