Chelsea host Manchester United on Friday at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

The Blues are into the Conference League final, whilst Ruben Amorim's men will face Tottenham for a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.

But despite their European endeavours elsewhere, both teams will want to finish the league season in fine form, none more so than Chelsea.

Enzo Maresca's men can still book their spot in the Champions League via a top-five finish domestically and have Manchester United and Nottingham Forest still to come.

The Red Devils have one last push to save their season against Spurs next week in Bilbao and could even rest players once again in the capital.
