Chelsea vs Manchester United: Result| Highlights| Analysis
Manchester United will take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
United beat Tottenham 2-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday and they were good value for that two-goal win. Fred and Bruno Fernandes both scored in the second half and Marcus Rashford would have been disappointed not to find the net.
The Reds have the challenge of playing Chelsea ahead and with Graham Potter replacing Thomas Tuchel, improving their fortunes, the London club have kept five clean sheets notably in their last five matches.
Talking about team news, Cristiano Ronaldo has not been included in United’s squad to play for Chelsea today as expected. Ronaldo refused to come for United in a win over Tottenham and returned to the dressing room before the game was over. This forced Eric Ten Haag to train separately with fitness coach on Friday.
Result
The result, a 1–1 draw that retains our fourth place in the Premier League table, follows the pattern of Chelsea vs Man United fixtures in recent days, with the last four matches between the sides also ending in draws.
Despite our opponents being allowed a greater number of attempts for the goal, a better performance in the second half looked like it was forming a crescent in Chelsea’s favor and it looked like it came true when two substitutes were involved. Done – Scott McTominay knocks Armando Broza down a corner to concede a spot-kick.
Although with six minutes of extra time, Kepa nearly put out a goal Casemiro header but goal-line technique confirmed that we allowed two points to slip.
There were echoes of our last two matches with Brentford’s lack of goals during the first half, as well as discontent over how the starting line-up was going as seen at Aston Villa.
Graham Potter made the change before half-time and had a chance to score, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang faced a disappointing game in front of goal, while at the other end, Kepa did well to deny Marcus Rashford. And Antony missed in vain.
In the second period, the influential Trevoh came close before being succeeded by Chaloba Jorginho, but although the unbeaten potter’s debut continued, it was abandoned by away fans following a runaway action by his team.

Welcome to Football. Live coverage of London during Chelsea’s live coverage against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
The growing momentum under Graham Potter was halted slightly on Wednesday evening as Chelsea drew 0-0 at Brentford, but remained unbeaten in seven games since taking charge in early September. Manchester United entered this fixture with good confidence after beating Spurs 2-0 at Old Trafford in a scintillating performance.
Analysis
Chelsea finished second in the opening 45 minutes, with Manchester United playing more confidently and with more quality. And they probably should have taken the lead before half, Antony missed a big chance and Kepa saved twice from Marcus Rashford.
At the other end, Chelsea had a chance on the counter when Varane made a goal-saving clearance on Mount Cross looking for Aubameyang, but otherwise the action was largely tilted in the visitors’ favour.
A tactical and formation change just before the half-hour mark, going from 3-4-3 to 4-3-3 helped Chelsea get a better foothold in midfield, and we started the second half in a much more positive fashion , though without posing too much threat – a poor touch from Raheem Sterling lets our biggest opportunity go without even a shot.
United were forced to make some changes at the start of the second half, with Fred in the form of a tactical switch and Maguire turning on for an injured Varane, and as we progressed into the final half hour, Chelsea eventually hit United in the penalty area. But some real pressure began to pour in. , Trevoh Chaloba hits the crossbar from one of the many corners won by the Blues.
