Manchester United vs Chelsea live stream — how to watch Premier League 21/22 game online

The Manchester United vs Chelsea live stream is a big-name Premier League clash, and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Manchester United’s poor run continued at the weekend. They followed up their 4-0 humiliation by Liverpool with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to the lineup did help inspire a better performance, but they still find themselves six points adrift of fourth spot and nine points behind third-placed Chelsea. If they're to have any chance of making the top four they'd need a win here.

Chelsea have also lost out to Arsenal recently, but a last-gasp Christian Pulisic winner against West Ham leaves them very comfortably in the Champions League spots. 

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that defender Antonio Rudiger is set to leave this summer, with Real Madrid his likely destination. He did not play at the weekend but returns at Old Trafford. For United, there are injury issues surrounding midfielders Paul Pogba and Fred, neither of whom plays.

Here's how they line up:

Man Utd: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles; McTominay, Matic; Elanga, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo.

Chelsea: Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta; Jorginho, Kante, Alonso; Mount, Werner, Havertz.

Can Ralf Rangnick’s side restore some pride in front of their fans or will the visitors take another step towards securing third spot? Find out by watching the Manchester United vs Chelsea live stream. Read on and we'll show you how to do that.
