While United appeared to enjoy some kind of new manager bounce against Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday night, Thomas Tuchel’s side will surely represent a much stronger task to overcome.
Sitting top of the league, they put Juventus to the sword earlier this week and could move three points clear of Manchester City and four of Liverpool with a win, should City overcome West Ham on Sunday themselves.
It’s certainly hard to imagine United proving as open to play against as they have done in recent big games but, based on the season so far, Chelsea look strong favourites, particularly at Stamford Bridge.
Still, few would doubt the quality on offer in United’s side, making for a fascinating encounter.

Chelsea vs Man United live stream
Date: Sunday, November 28
Kick-off time: 4.30pm GMT / 11.30am EST / 8.30am PST / 10pm IST / 3.30am AEDT (Mon) / 5.30am NZDT (Mon)
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
This Sunday, Manchester United is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 1.75 goals per contest. They and Chelsea are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. Last year, the Red Devils and Chelsea were perfect equals, playing to 0-0 and 0-0 draws.
The matchup between Man United and Watford on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Man United falling 4-1 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.
Meanwhile, Chelsea kept a clean sheet against Leicester City on Saturday and took the game 3-0.
Chelsea’s win lifted them to 9-1-2 (first place with 29 points) while Manchester United’s defeat dropped them down to 5-5-2 (eighth place with 17 points). We’ll see if Chelsea can repeat their recent success or if Man United bounces back and reverse their fortune.
Chelsea vs Manchester United is a huge Premier League clash on Sunday (start time 11:30am ET via Peacock Premium) as the Blues and Red Devils collide in west London.
Thomas Tuchel has Chelsea sitting pretty atop the Premier League table and into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, as the Blues have been in imperious form in recent weeks and are coping with injury issues remarkably well. With eight shutouts in 12 Premier League games so far, defensively they are so solid and Edouard Mendy is having a sensational season in goal. In midfield Jorginho is running the show and up top a host of attackers (plus right wing-back Reece James) continue to deliver the goods when needed. All signs point towards another home win for the reigning European champs, but they do have a few key injuries to contend with just as the likes of Romelu Lukaku are returning.
That said, Manchester United is a wounded animal right now. After firing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last weekend, Ole’s former assistant coach Michael Carrick took charge in midweek as a caretaker and led United to a 2-0 victory at Villarreal which sealed their spot in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. If United can improve defensively and get back to basics, we all know they have the attacking players to destroy opponents on the break. Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho delivered the goals at Villarreal, plus Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford had a huge impact off the bench.
With talks about Mauricio Pochettino coming in permanently now starting to slow down, it seems more likely that Ralf Rangnick will be appointed as interim boss soon to get United through until the end of the season. Let’s see if this talented squad can stand firm and make it tough for red-hot Chelsea, but United sit in 8th place in the table and 12 points off their hosts for a reason.
Chelsea team news, injuries, projected lineup
The worrying team news from midweek is over Ben Chilwell, as he suffered suspected knee ligament damage against Juventus and is likely to miss several games. N’Golo Kante hobbled off in the first half of that clash too (with a knee injury) and is battling to be available. Romelu Lukaku was on the bench against Juve and should be an option off the bench this Sunday, but Kai Havertz is struggling with a hamstring injury and Mateo Kovacic remains out with a thigh injury.
Manchester United team news, injuries, projected lineup
Mason Greenwood has been missing after a positive COVID-19 test, while Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba remain out with thigh injuries. Harry Maguire is suspended after his red card at Watford last weekend. Edinson Cavani is a doubt with an ongoing injury, while Luke Shaw could miss out after his recent head injury.
This is probably going to be a lot closer than we think given Michael Carrick setting United up in a very defensive shape at Villarreal, then going for it late on. Chelsea will have plenty of chances and have to take them. Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United.
