Manchester United vs Chelsea: Can Manchester United win today's match after 3 defeats?

Tomorrow’s match will be between two of the biggest teams in English football, Manchester United and Chelsea. Both teams have not performed well this season and are currently in mid-table.

 

It has been a tough season for both teams, with many games not going as planned. Despite having a hugely expensive £1 billion squad, Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino has had to deal with a number of injuries which have left his squad drained. Chelsea manager Erik ten Hag is also facing a number of problems and could be sacked as well.

 

When their next match comes around, a winning team will not solve all their problems, but will simply give them a short break in a busy December schedule.

 

When and where is the match?

 

Manchester United vs Chelsea will be played on Wednesday 6 December 2023, kick-off 8:15pm GMT. The match will be played at Old Trafford in Salford.
