2024 Premier League MW 31 Match Preview - Chelsea vs. Man Utd: Will the Red Devils win their home and away series against the Blues? April 4, 2024 by Marc Jerbs

On Thursday, Chelsea will face Manchester United in the last fixture of matchweek 31 of the 2024 Premier League season. Kick-off is set 8:15PM BST at the Stamford Bridge in London, England. Both clubs are having a disappointing season and are too far behind to chase the leaders in the Premiership table.

Chelsea is trying to move up in the table to qualify for a berth in next season's Europa League. Standing their way is their storied rival Manchester United. The Blues' Cole Palmer has been playing well in his rookie season with the club. He has displayed an uncanny ability to score under pressure when the game is on the line. Expect the Red Devils to keep him in check throughout the game but Palmer will surely pressure the Red Devils' porous defense.

The Red Devils have become unpredictable this season as they could not find consistency in their game. Their defense has been unpredictable and many of their losses can easily be attributed to poor defense. But there were games when they play well on both sides of the field. Facing Chelsea is another stern test if they have the capability to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League. They need to start putting up quality wins as there are few games left in the season.
