Chelsea stand in the middle of the table with 29 points, 11 points less than their opponent. Title race for home side is over, but they have to improve their performance in the second half of the season and move up on the table. Their recent form in not such bad. In the last 10 matches in all competitions they are unbeaten. Their attack is solid, but in the defence they have many problems. In the 24 Premier League matches Chelsea conceded 34 goals. In the first half of the season the match between Manchester United vs Chelsea was finished without goals. Good news for home team is that Eden Hazard, the best player in Premier League last season, could back in the starting lineup after he missed the last match against Watford. Home side have many problems in the attack because Remy and Falcao are both injured and Diego Costa is the only option in attack, so Chelsea brought Alexandre Pato, but he will not be available for this game.

Manchester United stand at the 5th position and it will be hard for them to win the title this season, but their main goal is to finish the season in Top 4 and play in the UEFA Champions League next season. Their recent form is very solid. United lost only once in their last 8 matches in all competitions (5-2-1). Visitors are better team in this moment, but Chelsea could be very dangerous for them. There are some rumors that their current manager Van Gaal could leave the club at the end of the season and be replaced by Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea vs Manchester United injuries and suspensions

Home side miss Alexandre Pato (0/0 f), Loic Remy (10/1 m), Radamel Falcao (9/1 f) and Matt Miazga (0/0 d).
