Chelsea vs Man Utd LIVE SCORE: Blues continue push for Champions League football as Mount returns to Stamford Bridge

  • A problem up top

    Enzo Maresca may have to end the season without a recognised striker.

    The Blues have one more game away at Forest after tonight’s game, but may have nobody who is a recognised striker up top.

    Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu are out injured, and Nicolas Jackson will be suspended after a red card against Newcastle.

    However, Maresca was given a small boost, as Marc Guiu returned to training this week.

    Guiu had been used mostly in the Conference League, but could get some valuable Premier League minutes under his belt.

    Alternatively, Tyrique George had been playing the role of substitute striker in the absence of Nkunku and Guiu.

  • Mounting a return

    Mason Mount returns to Stamford Bridge for the second time since he left the Blues.

    Mount was pivotal in Chelsea winning the Champions League under Thomas Tuchel in 2021, but left the club on a sour note, with a year left on his deal, after seemingly implying he would not sign a new deal.

    He only added fuel to the fire when he squared up to Enzo Fernandez in the clash at Stamford Bridge last season.

    The 26-year-old has scored three in three heading into the game tonight, and could send the Chelsea faithful into meltdown with a goal.

    However, the Red Devils would love to spoil the party, and former Blue Mason Mount has hit form just before his second return to Stamford Bridge.

    Cole Palmer was hat-trick hero when the Blues faced United at Stamford Bridge last season, can he step up and deliver another HUGE three points for Enzo Maresca?
