Manchester United-Chelsea is a replay of the thirty-second day of the Premier League and is played today at 9 pm: formations and predictions
It only takes one point for Manchester United to put a definitive end to Champions League talk. Ten Hag’s team against Chelsea at home can seal the deal. And the feelings are all positive for the Red Devils.
The recovery of day number 32 of the English league gives a huge chance to the Dutch coach’s troop: Liverpool could tonight say goodbye to qualification for the top European competition for next season. And there should be no doubt about the final result, not least because we know very well what Chelsea’s season has been, which practically ended its championship in January, and is looking forward to starting again next year with a new coach on the bench and with a team that must perforce redeem a disastrous year.
The Blues’ thoughts are obviously all about next year then, unlike that of the host team, which wants as mentioned to close on a high note and toast to qualification. In short, motivations in this match will make the difference, no ifs or buts. Motivations that push in only one direction: the victory of Manchester United.

The Prediction
A match that, meanwhile, at least three total goals should give them away. Just as it should also eventually give away one goal per team. Yes, at Old Trafford it will probably be like that, with the certainty that Ten Hag’s team will take home the entire stake because it is a match worth so much. A match to which Klopp’s Liverpool also looks with great interest, but they know very well that their chances of getting into the Champions League are practically nil. And tonight will also come the confirmation of this.
