It’s been a tough first season at Chelsea for Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea vs Man United: Pre-match facts
Chelsea have won six of their eight evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League this season (L2), having failed to win any of their nine evening games in the competition last term (D3 L6).
Chelsea have both scored and conceded in 19 different Premier League games this season, last doing so more often in 2019-20 (22). They’ve done so in each of their last seven league matches, their longest such run since a run of nine between January and April 2017.
Cole Palmer scored Chelsea’s goal in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the reverse fixture. The last Blues player to score home and away against Man Utd in the same Premier League campaign was Juan Mata (2012-13), while the last English player to do so was Frank Lampard (2010-11).

Palmer
In a season of inconsistency and some awful individual performances, Cole Palmer has been outstanding for Chelsea.
He’s their top goalscorer and has a perfect record from the penalty spot,
But he’s also a creative player and has done everything he can to ensure Chelsea score goals.
Unfortunately, some of his teammates haven’t been on the same level as the England international, who has been a superb signing.

Ten Hag discusses performances
It would be fair to say that Manchester United were beyond hopeless against Brentford.
The Bees battered the Red Devils from start to finish, recording the most shots in their Premier League history and having over 80 touches in the Man United box.
The game followed an international break and Erik ten Hag has suggested that his players are being pushed to their limit.

Chelsea vs Man United: Pre-match facts
Manchester United have won just one of their last nine Premier League away games against London sides (D3 L5), losing four of their last six. They’ve lost three of their five such visits this season, last losing more in a single top-flight campaign in 1989-90 (4).

Huge game
This is how the Premier League table stands ahead of this match.
If Man United win, they will move within eight points of Aston Villa and clear of the chasing pack.
A draw would do neither team much good, while a win for the Boues would take them into the top ten.
Remember, both teams are coming into this one off the back of two dreadful displays against Burnley and Brentford, respectively.
The Blues failed to beat the ten-man Clarets and were booed off, while United shipped 30 shots to the Bees and somehow got a draw.

Return for Mount
Mason Mount’s return to Chelsea is a big talking point ahead of tonight.
The England international was a Cobham academy graduate, but he couldn’t agree a new deal with the Blues and departed for Man United last summer.
He was one of Erik ten Hag’s top targets, but after a slow start at Old Trafford, Mount suffered an injury and has been out for a long time.
He scored his first Red Devils goal against Brentford on Saturday, and it will be fascinating to see what sort of reception he gets from those who used to worship him.

Fallen giants
Hello, and welcome to talkSPORT.com’s live coverage of Chelsea’s home game against Manchester United.
These are two of the only teams to win the Premier League since its creation in 1992.
However, when they once fought for titles, both sides are now battling to get into any form of European competition.
Man United are sixth but have lots of teams breathing down their neck, with the top four slipping away, while the Blues are 12th.
Both sides are chaotic and inconsistent, so who knows what is going to happen.
