Two sputtering big-name projects clash Thursday when Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea welcome Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United to Stamford Bridge (Watch live at 3:15pm ET on USA Network and online via NBC.com).
Ten Hag’s United harbor outside hopes of a remarkable top-four run but really will do well to keep their sixth-place footing. The Red Devils have 1W-1D-2L in their last four matches, beating Everton but losing to Fulham and Man City before drawing Brenford away last time out.

Chelsea is unbeaten in five Premier League matches but three of those are draws, and two of those came against bottom-half sides Brentford and Burnley.
Pochettino’s men have 10 games to rescue European placement for next season. The Blues are currently 12th with 40 points, four points off eighth-place Newcastle, five off seventh, and eight behind sixth-place Manchester United.
Chelsea’s 28 matches played are the fewest in the Premier League, so a hot finish could well save their season in a big way.
