Manchester United vs Chelsea line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture
Manchester United need only a point to make certain of Champions League qualification as they host Chelsea.
Erik ten Hag’s side have already won the Carabao Cup this year, and a win or draw would be enough to ensure the club finish ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League’s top four.
It would continue a promising first season under the Dutchman, with another trip to Wembley for the FA Cup final still to come.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are certain to finish in the bottom half with Frank Lampard’s time in interim charge almost at an end.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Chelsea are rather limping to the end of a difficult season, with Benoit Badiashile needing groin surgery and added to a significant injury list. Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount are all thought to be doubts, with Reece James and N’Golo Kante two regular starters certainly sidelined.
