Chelsea vs Manchester United LIVE!
Two fallen giants of English football meet tonight at Stamford Bridge with both looking to salvage something from largely miserable campaigns. The Blues are facing another bottom-half finish, currently sitting 12th, but could still sneak into a Europa Conference League spot with improved form in the run-in.
Man Utd, meanwhile, have faint hopes of pipping Tottenham or Aston Villa to a Champions League spot, but only if the Premier League are awarded a fifth qualification entry and a nine-point gap can be closed. Victory tonight, Erik ten Hag will surely feel, will be crucial to those aims. Otherwise it will be a Europa League spot and a possible new manager in the summer.
Mason Mount is back at Stamford Bridge for the first time since leaving his boyhood club for the Red Devils last summer. It has been an injury-hit struggle during his first season at United but he scored his first goal for the club in the previous game. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at Stamford Bridge.

Nizaar Kinsella at Stamford Bridge
An unchanged Chelsea side is interesting given how poor the 2-2 draw with 10-man Burnley was on Saturday. But there are few alternatives when you look at the bench.
Raheem Sterling may feel unlucky to miss out having set up Cole Palmer’s second goal.

Erik ten Hag on the team news
“We have two big games in three days, we need everyone. We need the bench and lately we have had a strong bench. Recently players from the bench have impacted, Mason Mount.
“It is a huge impact and it is a good impact to have Rashford on the bench.
“[Mount is] not ready for a start, we will bring him on carefully. We want to avoid another injury so we have to build-up his game minutes.”
He added: “If we want to qualify for the Champions League this is a huge opportunity.”

Mauricio Pochettino on the team news
“I think to restart the starting 11 is good to keep the consistency. I think the main thing is to be aggressive and consistent then during the game it is important to get the right balance.”
“It was in doubt [that Gusto would start], but in the last few days he has improved a lot and it is good to have the same starting 11 to give them [players] confidence and to see if we have the capacity to improve on our performance.
“We know it is a must-win game if we want to reduce the gap I think it is important to win and get the three points.”
