Chelsea hosted Manchester United in tonight's Premier League, aiming to bring the Champions League closer.
Enzo Maresca's team lost at Newcastle last weekend, but Nottingham Forest failed to beat Leicester to ensure that the Blues' fate remains in their own hands.
Ranked fifth on the table, winning in their last two matches would bring Chelsea’s Champions League back unless the goals involved are not much different.
London, this is our house. 😉

However, the tightness of the game means there is no room for error. Newcastle made just four points in the forest in third and seventh place, entering the penultimate round.
Manchester United arrived in London in the form of the Torred League. The Red Devils are in seven out of seven and have not beaten the relegation location since January. Ruben Amorim hopes his side will find momentum before next week's Europa League final.
There will be no Nicolas Jackson at home, and he will not play again in the Premier League this season. Jackson caught Sven Botman in Sunday's defeat at Newcastle and was sent away.
His absence puts Chelsea’s light in the last third, with Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu also ruled out alternatives. Pedro Neto can start from the center.
Elsewhere, Chelsea had no Wesley Fofana, Omari Kellyman and Mikhai Mudrick due to injuries and timeouts.
Chelsea predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Charlotte, Colville, Cucumber; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, George; Neto.
Chelsea hosts Manchester United The Premier League will be held on Friday, May 16, 2025. Stamford Bridge's kickoff time is 20:15 BST.
Chelsea vs Manchester United will be available for viewing at Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Go UK and now the UK.
