Match Preview including how to chelsea against Manchester United | observed and follows May 16, 2025

For the hosts who also have a European finale to think about it, Wesley Fofana in the conference league is on the road with a thigh injury for the rest of the season. Christopher Nkunku was able to return before the end of the campaign, but can miss it if he recovered from a knock that suffered from Chelsea's semi -finals against Djurgharmen. Jadon Sancho cannot compete, while Mykhailo Mudryk has been temporarily suspended since December.

The striker Nicolas Jackson was sent against Newcastle United in the defeat of the Blues weekend, which means that he was suspended.

Tyrique George worked as a deputy of Jackson in the conference league this season. Marc Guiu was injured in January and has not played since then, but Blues boss Enzo Maresca recently indicated when he returned.

Formal leader

While United has enjoyed every European event in recent months, our league form was undeniably disappointing. Our last Premier League victory came on March 16 at the King Power Stadium when we defeated Leicester City 3-0, with goals from Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes.

We now have seven league games without a win – two draws, five defeats – and have recently been replaced by wolves and West Ham at home.
