MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea face off as both sides look to add some consistency to their seasons in a huge Premier League match-up tonight. <\/p>\n

The two Premier League giants have suffered stop-start campaigns so far this term, with both sitting outside of the top six.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Man United come into the game after a disappointing defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park.<\/p>\n

Former Chelsea transfer target Anthony Gordon fired in the only goal of the game to hand the Magpies all three points.<\/p>\n

The scoreline flattered United as Eddie Howe's men squandered several chances during the match.<\/p>\n

The performance forced Red Devils legend Gary Neville into admitting he is "tired" of his own club and that he "don't want to watch them" anymore.<\/p>\n

The Blues, however, won their last match against Brighton in a thriller at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino's side came out on top 3-2 despite losing Conor Gallagher to a red card.<\/p>\n

The win saw Chelsea remain in the top half of the table, which could be a bad omen for Man United.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that\u00a0Erik ten Hag's side have struggled against top teams this season.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils\u00a0have lost all five games they have played this season against teams in the top half of the table going into the match.<\/p>\n

Those defeats have come against Tottenham,\u00a0Arsenal, Brighton, Man City and now Newcastle.<\/p>\n

This means that Chelsea could look to make it six out of six this season.<\/p>\n

Both teams have been inconsistent this season and a win could help them boost their hopes of surging back up the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

What is their form like?<\/h2>\n

Chelsea's form has been a very mixed bag in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

In their last five Premier League games, the West London outfit has won two, lost two, and drawn one.<\/p>\n

The Blues beat Brighton and Tottenham but lost to Newcastle and Brentford while drawing to Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Man United on the other hand have won three of their last five league matches.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils came out on top against Fulham, Luton Town and Everton.<\/p>\n

However, tougher fixtures against Man City and Newcastle saw them fall to defeat.<\/p>\n

What is the team news?<\/h2>\n

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino would have been delighted to have escaped the Brighton win with no fresh injury concerns.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, Pochettino could be tempted into welcoming Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia to the fold after their long term injuries.<\/p>\n

But the Blues boss is still expected to be without Malo Gusto (knock), Wesley Fofana (cruciate ligament), Carney Chukwuemeka (knee), Trevoh Chalobah (hamstring) and Ben Chilwell (hamstring).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conor Gallagher misses out through suspension after picking up two yellow cards against the Seagulls.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag's injury is likely to be without Tyrell Malacia (knee), Christian Eriksen (leg), Jonny Evans (muscular), Casemiro (hamstring), Lisandro Martinez (foot) and Amad Diallo (knee).<\/p>\n

Mason Mount will also miss the clash against his former club with a calf injury, while Jadon Sancho's banishment continues.<\/p>\n

Who will be the star men?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Man United captain Bruno Fernandes could step up and answer some critics with a quality performance against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

The attacking midfielder has been one of the club's star players since his arrival in 2020 and has chipped in this season.<\/p>\n

Fernandes has three goals and three assists in 14 Premier League outings and could look to add to his tally.<\/p>\n

Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez will have to be on top form in order to help his side pick up another positive result.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The midfielder will also have to put in some more running, as midfield partner Gallagher will miss out through suspension.<\/p>\n

Fernandez finally grabbed his first two Premier League goals of the season against Brighton and will be hoping to continue his goalscoring form against United.<\/p>\n

What have the managers said?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Pochettino has praised Enzo Fernandez ahead of the match against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

He said: "It's important that different players can score. For Enzo, it was his first and second goal in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

"We are always talking about confidence, it is important that they are building that confidence.<\/p>\n

"Players always need six months or one season to start to show their real quality, why is it going to be different at Chelsea?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I\u2019m so happy that different players could score goals, to help the team."<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag however has claimed that United need to dominate games more moving on from their loss to Newcastle.<\/p>\n

He said: "This week, it was not in our advantage but you have to take it as it is. We have to put this right. <\/p>\n

"I know we are resilient. We can do that.<\/p>\n

"Several weeks ago, we lost to [Manchester] City and then we had a good run [in the Premier League], so we have to get back to a good run.<\/p>\n

"You could say we defended quite well [Against Newcastle] but I prefer to stay further away from our goal and I prefer to have more of the ball, to play in their half.<\/p>\n

"We had our moments where we could make good formations but it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

"We could have been more dominant in the game."<\/p>\n
