Manchester United v Chelsea live stream, Wednesday 27 April, 7.45pm BST, Sky Sports
Looking for a Manchester United v Chelsea live stream? We’ve got you covered with our handy guide.
Manchester United are in dire need of a morale-boosting win against Chelsea to revive their flagging season at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The Red Devils are in a dreadful run of form and came in for fierce criticism following back-to-back heavy defeats, 4-0 to Liverpool and 3-1 to Arsenal.
Erik ten Hag’s appointment as the club’s new manager for next season was announced last week, but current boss Ralf Rangnick still needs to steer his side to European qualification.
A run of one win in five Premier League games has all-but ended United’s hopes of the top-four finish that would earn them a place in next season’s Champions League.
They currently sit in sixth, six points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, but the Gunners have a game in hand.
United also have West Ham breathing down their necks two points behind in seventh, and they face a daunting task against Thomas Tuchel’s side.
The Blues recovered from a 4-2 defeat to Arsenal by beating West Ham 1-0 on Sunday, thanks to a 90th-minute Christian Pulisic winner.
They have now won four of their last five games in all competitions and can go eight points clear in third place with a win in Manchester.
The top two of Manchester City and Liverpool and too far ahead to catch, so Tuchel’s focus will be on securing a top-three finish and building form in the lead-up to next month’s FA Cup final against the Reds.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST and UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League
For a limited time, you can get five copies of FourFourTwo for just £5! The offer ends on May 2, 2022.
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.
