Chelsea will be looking to break into the top four when they host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Join The Roar from 2am AEDT for live scores.

Coming off a 3-nil win over former defending Premier League champions Leicester City, Chelsea are back on track to league success after a shaky start.

Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses all found the net for the Blues as they put on their best performance of the season against the Foxes.

Chelsea will be looking to break their unbeaten record against Manchester United. The Blues are unbeaten against the Red Devils in their past seven league games, they have never gone eight.

After a 4-1 win over Fenerbache in the Europa League, Manchester United will be looking to finally pull Chelsea’s thorn from their side.

Paul Pogba bagged two, as Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard also scored against the Turkish side.

The Red Devils gave lost more Premier League fixtures against Chelsea than any other side with 16.

However, new United manager, and former Blues manager Jose Mourinho will know the Chelsea players well, and will be turning a personal negative record into a personal one with his new club.

The last time these two sides faced off was earlier in the year, in the 2015/16 Premier League season.

Lingard scored in the 61st minute to open the scoring at Stamford Bridge, however Costa’s last-minute equaliser ensured that the home fans went home content.

Prediction
Both sides seem to have found some form, and both sides have immense attacking power. However if Chelsea score early, expect them to grind out a win. Either way, it looks set to be a close game.

Chelsea 1 – 1 Manchester United
