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.

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. When is Manchester United vs Chelsea?
