When Chelsea visits Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday, they hope to add to Manchester United’s recent misery by triumphing for the second time in four days.
United’s performance in their tame 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday has increased the pressure on Erik ten Hag and his players and led to more speculation of unrest behind the scenes involving the manager.
Chelsea’s 3-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at home required them to play the second half of the match with ten men, and midfielder Conor Gallagher will be suspended following his red card at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Similar to Chelsea, United also has a lengthy injury list, and key midfield players Christian Eriksen and Casemiro are expected to miss more time.
