There is a strangely anti-climactic feel ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford, which is the next game on the Premier League TV schedule.

The two sides have played out some famous contests at the Theatre of Dreams but there is little on the line this time around – with Man Utd’s top four hopes likely dead after Saturday’s defeat to Arsenal and the Blues tightening their grip on third with a win over West Ham United on Sunday.

Ralf Rangnick’s side were unfortunate to come away with nothing against the Gunners but nor can they honestly say they did enough to win the game.

That result means they’re six points back from fourth-placed Arsenal, who have played one fewer game than the Red Devils.

Chelsea’s cushion over the Gunners remains five points and a game in hand on the back of the 1-0 win against the Hammers – with the drama coming late at Stamford Bridge as Christian Pulisic bagged a stoppage-time winner just minutes after Jorginho’s penalty miss.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Chelsea

Chelsea were hardly at their best against a weakened West Ham side on Sunday but you’d still fancy Thomas Tuchel’s men to get the job done against a Man Utd team that are staggering toward the end of the season.

The Red Devils can take some heart from the improvement they showed at Arsenal but with Antonio Rudiger and Reece James potentially back, the visitors will be the more confident of the two sides.

Chelsea have kept things fairly tight against top six opposition this season and even if Cristiano Ronaldo is able to get on the scoresheet, a Blues win looks the most likely result.

Our prediction: Man Utd 1-2 Chelsea (9/1 at bet365)
