CHELSEA face Manchester United in the Premier League as the two sides look to secure Champions League football for next season.
The Blues are in pole position to secure fourth place, but either club could potentially qualify for Europe’s top club competition by finishing fifth as a result of Man City’s two-year Uefa ban.

Lampard will be hoping for a good result, the last time the two sides met in the league, Lampard’s side got thumped 4-0.
The Blues have had a turbulent season, they started off well, and mid season they went off the boil dropping points to West Ham, Everton, Bournemouth AND Southampton in the space of a month.
Tammy Abraham has enjoyed a fruitful season so far, and he will hope to continue to steak his claim to the number nine spot for many years to come.

Manchester United are without top scorer Marcus Rashford, who has enjoyed his best ever goal scoring season while playing for his boyhood club scoring 19 goals in all competitions.
Scott McTominay is also a doubt, the academy product has been a regular feature for the side but he is a week or two too late for this fixture.
Despite all of the problems off of the pitch, United remain in pursuit of the top four in which their opponents on Monday night hold the last spot.
Star midfielder Paul Pogba is also on his way back from an ankle injury, a much needed boost for the United boss.
