Chelsea vs Manchester United live stream and match preview
Looking for a Chelsea vs Manchester United live stream? We've got you covered.
Graham Potter's side were held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford on Wednesday. It was a game where defences came out on top, with the Blues unable to break down their dogged hosts in a fiercely contested west London derby. There were still positives for Chelsea to take from the game, not least a fifth clean sheet on the bounce in all competitions.
Potter will be pleased with how well the players have responded to his methods during his first few weeks in charge. But although Chelsea did the double over AC Milan in the Champions League, this will be their first big test in the Premier League since the change of manager.
Manchester United were disappointing in a 0-0 draw with Newcastle last weekend, but they delivered one of the best performances of the Erik ten Hag era in beating Tottenham 2-0 in the midweek round of fixtures.
United dominated the match from minute one to 90, as goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes saw off a team that has been tipped to challenge for the Premier League title this term.
Team news
Chelsea make four changes from the team started the draw at Brentford: Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all come in; Kalidou Koulibaly, Conor Gallagher, Kai Havertz and Armando Broja make way.
United, meanwhile, make just the one change, with Christian Eriksen coming into midfield to replace Fred – who drops to the bench. Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the squad after refusing to come on against Spurs.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
