Both sides showed each other a little too much respect in the reverse match as they played out a goalless draw. Manchester United haven’t lost to the Blues in the league across the past six matches with the last Chelsea domestic league win dating back to the 2017/2018 season.

Tuchel’s dynamic change

Thomas Tuchel still hasn’t lost as a Chelsea manager since his appointment. The German has been in charge of the London outfit for eight games; winning six of those games and keeping six clean sheets in the process. The Blues were in action in the Champions League this week against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano. A late Olivier Giroud strike turned out to be the decider as Chelsea left Spain with a previous advantage.

Back-to-Back wins for the Mancunians

The Reds have since lost hope of winning the league title this season having faltered in a couple of games at the end of last month. However, they would be looking to secure a place in next year’s UCL given they’re just six-point from the Blues who are in 5th. Ole’s troops did well to secure a comfortable win against Newcastle United last time out, emerging 3-1 winner.
