Is Chelsea v Man United on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture
Everything you need to know ahead of the return to Premier League action
Chelsea face off against Manchester United in a battle for European spots between two teams who have enjoyed huge highs this season - but have suffered something of a comedown in recent weeks. Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has overseen a run of just one win in their last seven top-flight games as well as something of a crisis of authority, with Enzo Fernandez dropped from the squad after comments in which he openly courted Real Madrid. A 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their last outing was less than ideal preparation for today’s clash with United, but the visitors themselves will be bruised after their first home defeat under Michael Carrick last time out, a 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Leeds.
Here’s everything you need to know. When is Chelsea v Man Utd? Chelsea host Man Utd at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 18 April, with kick-off at 8pm BST.
How can I watch it? Viewers in the UK can watch the game live on TNT Sports and HBO Max. Team news Fernandez’s two-game suspension by the club has passed so all eyes will be on whether he is included in the starting XI or remains out in the cold.
Chelsea will still be without a lengthy list of injury casualties including Levi Colwill, Trevoh Chalobah and Jamie Gittens, with Reece James and Benoit Badiashile both unlikely to feature. Man United will be without their first-choice centre-back duo or Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire after both were sent off in recent games. Maguire had been due to return from a one-game ban but has been handed an additional game on the sidelines for swearing at officials.
