Chelsea is set to face off against Man Utd at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
Both teams are entering the match following disappointing draws in the Premier League.
Chelsea is currently positioned in the lower half of the table(11th), while Man Utd is striving for a surprising top-four finish(6th).
Chelsea has been unable to clinch a win against Man Utd in their past 12 Premier League matches, marking their longest winless run against their rivals.
Man Utd is aiming to achieve only their second Premier League double over Chelsea, having previously defeated the Blues both at home and away in the 2019/20 season.
That particular season not only saw the red devil’s last victory at Stamford Bridge but was also one of only six wins they secured in total since the league was rebranded in 1992.
