What channel is Man Utd vs Chelsea? TV details, live stream and kick-off time

Enzo Maresca and Chelsea have a chance to increase the scrutiny on Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim in this weekend's Premier League clash. The Red Devils are teetering on the edge of the relegation zone with a mere four points from four matches, while Chelsea remain undefeated in the league.

United will draw some encouragement from the fact that Maresca's men suffered a defeat in Europe earlier this week. The Blues were unable to match Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in one of their toughest Champions League games on paper, though Cole Palmer was on target for the second time in as many games.

Chelsea's trip to Old Trafford last season took place after Amorim's appointment but before he officially assumed control. Ruud van Nistelrooy was at the helm, with Bruno Fernandes giving United the lead before Moises Caicedo levelled the score four minutes later.

That fixture saw no goals scored in the first half, a pattern, which repeated itself in the return match. In that game, Marc Cucurella netted the sole goal just five days prior to Amorim's United losing the Europa League final, with United possibly having half an eye on Bilbao.

A victory for United would mark their first win over Chelsea since Scott McTominay netted both goals in a 2023 triumph. Here's how you can catch all the action from Old Trafford.

When is Man United vs Chelsea?

Manchester United and Chelsea are set to kick off on Saturday at 5.30pm UK time. United clinched their last home game, albeit requiring a last-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes to edge past Burnley, while Chelsea's most recent away game ended in a stalemate at Brentford.

How can I watch Man United vs Chelsea?

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. Pre-match build-up will begin on both channels from 5pm, and subscribers can also watch on the Sky Go app. Those in the UK unable to watch live, for example if they're travelling during the game, can also listen on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Team news

United were handed a boost earlier in the week with the news that Lisandro Martinez has stepped up his personalised training programme as he closes in on a return from long-term injury. This game will come too soon for the Argentina international, but he's on the comeback trail.

Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount both went off in the victory over Burnley but have a chance of returning this weekend. Diogo Dalot won't feature, though, after the defender withdrew from Portugal's squad during the international break.

Chelsea will be without Levi Colwill and Dario Essugo for the foreseeable future, and Liam Delap isn't expected back for a couple of months. Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia were also missing in Munich on Wednesday, and are expected to need another week before they can return to action.

Alejandro Garnacho is in contention to start against his former club, though. "We are happy with how he is adapting in our style and what we want for our winger. If he is ready to start tomorrow? I think he is ready to start," Maresca said.
