TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports. Coverage will begin at 5pm BST on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.

Manchester United enter this game aiming to bounce back from defeat in the Manchester derby. Reports suggest that head coach Ruben Amorim faces mounting pressure, with suggestions he has three games to turn results around. That journey begins with this match against Chelsea, where a strong performance could ease the tension around Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim warned Manchester United to stop making life so "complicated" for themselves after they eased the pressure on their beleaguered boss with a 2-1 win against Chelsea on Saturday.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer was subbed off after just 20 minutes against Manchester United on Saturday, perhaps due to a recurring groin injury that has plagued him at the start of the new Premier League season.

After United went five games without a win following their 1-1 draw away at Aston Villa in October 2024 — Erik ten Hag’s fourth-to-last game in charge — lifelong fan Frank Ilett vowed not to cut his hair again until the team managed five victories in a row.
