Manchester United aims to return to winning form on Saturday as it travels to the capital to face a Chelsea squad now in serious danger of missing out on a top-five finish.
United suffered a surprise 2-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened Leeds on Monday, with the fallout from that match providing interim boss Michael Carrick with the first true test of his short stint in the Old Trafford hot seat.
The loss, which drew jeers from the home crowd at halftime and at the final whistle, means the Red Devils now have a seven-point cushion over sixth-place Chelsea, which could narrow to four points with a loss here. The sending off of Lisandro Martínez in that game, along with Harry Maguire's current suspension, means United enter this game with a defensive selection crisis.
After a run of four defeats from their last five, Saturday's game is approaching must-win territory for Chelsea and its hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. Liam Rosenior's Blues come into the weekend's action four points behind fifth-place Liverpool.
Chelsea takes on Manchester United on Saturday, March 18, at Stamford Bridge in West London, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. BST. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.

NBCSN is available via a live TV streaming service such as YouTube TV or DirecTV. If you want a less expensive option, you'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription.
Peacock offers two Premium plans -- the ad-supported Premium plan costs $11 a month and the ad-free Premium Plus plan costs $17 a month.
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with Premier League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions to ensure you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
