When Manchester United hosts Chelsea on Saturday, it'll be a matchup of two struggling Premier League giants.
Instead of challenging for the top spot in the standings, both teams are mired in the mid-table — or worse.
It's still early, but Chelsea high-scoring roster has yet to put together a sustained string of good performances. Blessed with attacking talent that could step into any squad in England, Frank Lampard's team has been plagued with inconsistency in the early going and sits in eight place as a result.
As tough as it has been for the Blues to start 2020-21, it's been far worse for United. The Red Devils are stuck in 14th after five matches, and they've allowed more goals than they scored. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come under fire for his team's struggles, and his seat could get even hotter if United doesn't attain a positive result on Saturday.
United is coming off a 2-1 Champions League victory over PSG in the midweek, while Chelsea 's vaunted attack fizzled in a scoreless draw with Sevilla, so Solskjaer's men may have the momentum going into this one.
Here's everything you need to know about Saturday's broadcast.
