Chelsea and Manchester United will lock horns at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League matchday 26 on Sunday. The kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Preview

Second host fifth in the English top flight on the weekend with the Blues looking for three points to leapfrog West Ham into fourth in the table after the Hammers' 2-1 loss to Man City on Saturday. Chelsea have been in an excellent form since Thomas Tuchel's appointment last month - six wins and two draws across all competitions, including Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League thanks to Olivier Giroud's phenomenal bicycle kick goal.

Man United are also on an eight-game unbeaten streak in all competitions ahead of their trip to West London. The Red Devils, however, claimed only four wins during that run. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have reached the Europa League last-16 round after their goalless draw against Real Sociedad in midweek, so the visiting side should be in high spirits on Sunday. As things stand now, United sit in second in the PL standings, six points ahead of the Blues.

Thiago Silva is again unavailable for Chelsea through a muscle injury while Juan Mata has recently joined Paul Pogba in United's treatment room.

Prediction

There's probably no need to recall the previous head-to-head meeting between United and Chelsea as the Blues registered a goalless draw at Old Trafford in October with Frank Lampard at the helm of the club. Chelsea are a different team under Tuchel but we do expect a similar outcome at the Bridge. Both sides would arguably be happy with a point in this one and thus we can envisage another narrow draw between the top four opponents on Sunday.
