Manchester United just need a single point against Chelsea tonight to qualify for Champions League football next season. United defeated Bournemouth 1-0 on the road last weekend and Liverpool, who had gained momentum in recent weeks, drew against Aston Villa, meaning a top four finish is now within touching distance for Erik ten Hag's side.
Ten Hag will be hopeful of a win against Chelsea on Thursday night regardless. The London club have endured a trainwreck season and they are currently 12th in the Premier League, despite spending more than £600million this term.
Regarding team news, Marcus Rashford was absent against Bournemouth due to illness but he returned to training this week. This clash against Chelsea is the penultimate league game of the season, with United playing Fulham on Sunday. Follow the blog below for live updates from Old Trafford.
