Chelsea vs Manchester United: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
[ad_1] 
What was once the game of the season not so long ago, Manchester United’s trip to Chelsea on Thursday night is a mere sideshow to the unfolding drama of the title race.
Erik ten Hag’s side sit sixth in the Premier League table ahead of visiting Mauricio Pochettino’s 11th-placed Blues, with both sides wildly inconsistent of late.
United followed up on a memorable FA Cup win over Liverpool with a drab display at Brentford on the weekend, which saw them nonetheless grab what appeared to be a stoppage-time winner before quickly conceding a deserved leveller anyway.
Chelsea meanwhile have not just been inconsistent from game to game, but also minute to minute.
The west Londoners were lucky to hold onto a point against ten-man Burnley last time out and must now look to end a poor run of results against the Red Devils.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Chelsea vs Manchester United is scheduled for an 8.15pm GMT kick-off on Thursday, April 4, 2024.
