How to watch Man Utd vs Chelsea: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time

Under-pressure Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has a chance to relieve some pressure this weekend as he leads his team out against Chelsea in the Premier League. United sit just outside the relegation places with just four points from four games, while their opponents remain unbeaten in the league.

Amorim's side will take some heart from the fact that Enzo Maresca's men lost in Europe during the week. The Blues couldn't get the measure of Bayern Munich, who won 3-1 at the Allianz Arena after a Harry Kane brace.

Last season, the Old Trafford meeting between the team was played after Amorim's appointment but before he took charge. Ruud van Nistelrooy was in the dugout, with Bruno Fernandes putting United in front before Moises Caicedo equalised.

There were no first-half goals in that fixture, and the same applied to the reverse game. On that occasion, Marc Cucurella scored the only goal of the game just five days before Amorim's United lost the Europa League final in Bilbao.

If United are able to win, it would be their first victory over Chelsea since Scott McTominay scored both goals in a 2023 win. Here's how you can take in all the action from Old Trafford.

When is Man United vs Chelsea

Mancheser United and Chelsea will kick off on Saturday at 5.30pm UK time. United won their last home game, though they needed a last-gasp penalty from Bruno Fernandes to see off Burnley, while Chelsea's last away game ended all square 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 can also listen to the game 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 withdrew from Portugal's squad during the international break, though, and he's not quite ready to return.

Chelsea will be without Levi Colwill and Darrio 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.
