The seven Manchester United players Ralf Rangnick will be without for Chelsea clash

Thomas Tuchel and his Chelsea side make the trip north on Thursday night as they face Manchester United in the Premier League. The original fixture date was set to be played in May, but due to the FA Cup final, the game had to be brought forward a few weeks.

If the Blues manage to avoid defeat, they will confirm a finish above the Red Devils this season, with an 11 points gap between the two sides and with United only having three matches left after this. It would also put the side one step closer to confirming a place in next season’s Champions League.

Despite the hosts' poor form, Tuchel was still keen to stress the quality they have in the squad ahead of the game: “I am very happy to have this match, and it will always be a big match for me, no matter which position and what current form they are in. That is why we prepare in the best possible way," he said.
