We simulated Manchester United vs Chelsea to get a score prediction

Manchester United face a massive test in their hunt for a top-four spot in the Premier League on Thursday night, as they welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford.

A 3-1 defeat to Arsenal put a massive dent in United's Champions League hopes last weekend, with the win taking the Gunners into fourth place and six points ahead of United with a game in hand. The defeat meant United have won just two of their last eight Premier League matches, leaving Ralf Rangnick's side sixth in the table.

If United were to lose to Chelsea on Thursday, it would leave them six points off fourth place having played two games more than Arsenal. A win is a must for United, but Rangnick will be missing some key players for the clash.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also a doubt for Thursday, with Rangnick claiming to only have 14 senior players available. So, what line-ups will both teams select? And what could the final score be?
