Stamford Bridge is set to host a Premier League encounter as Chelsea welcome Manchester United. This match pits two sides with differing ambitions at this stage of the season, creating an intriguing dynamic for the Friday evening fixture.
For Chelsea, the focus is firmly on securing European qualification. They have already guaranteed at least a spot in the Conference League but are actively pursuing a place in either the Europa League or, ideally, the Champions League, potentially looking to climb as high as second in the table.
Manchester United, mathematically safe from direct relegation, are fighting to avoid a 17th-place finish and move towards mid-table security, while also balancing their efforts with an upcoming Europa League final.
Chelsea's recent league form saw a six-match unbeaten run ended with a 2-0 defeat away at Newcastle United. At home, however, their scoring record is impressive, having found the net in 17 of their 18 fixtures this season, including each of their last 17, contributing to a nine-match unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge. Conversely, they have conceded in 13 of their 18 home matches.
Manchester United come into the game winless in their last seven league matches, suffering a second consecutive defeat last time out with a 2-0 home loss against West Ham United.
While their overall clean sheet percentage of 25% is above the league average, their recent form has been poor, averaging just 0.63 points per game in their last eight matches compared to their season average of 1.08 – a significant drop indicating a considerable downturn in performance.
Chelsea will look to leverage their consistent goal-scoring ability at home as a key strength. They will need to be mindful of their tendency to concede at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United will have to watch out for their current run of poor form, particularly evident in their recent away fixtures where they have shown vulnerability. They may look to rely on their tendency to finish matches strongly, scoring 38% of their goals after the 75th minute, as a potential factor.
The focus of the above average values lays on Chelsea's home matches and Manchester Utd's away matches played this season in the league.

Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the Goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
