On Friday night, there's EPL action at Stamford Bridge, which is where Chelsea will continue to fight for their place in the all important top five. Having lost to Newcastle last weekend, the Blues are no longer in a secure position regarding UEFA Champions League qualification, and since one of their biggest rivals for a top-five spot has a seemingly easy home game on Friday, this is very much a game that Enzo Maresca's men need to win.
Fortunately, just like the hosts at Villa Park, Maresca's players have the luxury of facing not only a poor Man United team but a Man United team that has nothing to fight for in the league, a team that is also preparing for a huge UEFA Europa League final, which takes place five days after this fixture. Therefore, this is a gilt-edged opportunity for a side that has won two of the last two (in the league) at home to pick up an important win.

Chelsea - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Last weekend, Chelsea's pleasing run came to an end, with the Blues losing to Newcastle away from home. Fortunately, they'd been in hot form prior to that fixture, winning five on the spin in all competitions. In front of their own fans, they've won each of their last three (in all competitions), conceding just one goal in the process, which bodes well given that United haven't scored many goals on the road this season.
The Red Devils also lost at the weekend, coming unstuck at home to West Ham, going down to by two goals to zero. They're now without a league win in seven games, so we really shouldn't be surprised if they struggle at Stamford Bridge, especially as the remainder of the season for Ruben Amorim's men is now all about the Europa League.

Chelsea & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Both Wesley Fofana and Christopher Nkunku continue to be sidelined with injury, while Nicolas Jackson is suspended following his red card last weekend. Having recently played well in the UEFA Europa Conference League, Tyrique George could be handed a rare Premier League start.
For the visitors, there could be some rotation as manager Ruben Amorim looks to ensure that none of his key players pick up knocks ahead of United's biggest game of the campaign. Then again, the Red Devils need to build momentum, so the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Patrick Dorgu should all feature at some point. Diego Dalot is out injured, while the same can be said for Joshua Zirkzee, Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt.

Our Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction
Let's be honest, Manuel Ugarte finds it very hard to stay out of trouble. This serial fouler and often rash tackler has been booked on a regular basis this season, giving referees no choice but to reach for the yellow card on far too many occasions. Given his rather eye-catching card-related stats, he looks generously priced to be booked at Stamford Bridge. Our Chelsea vs Man United Pick: Manuel Ugarte to Get a Card.
