Manchester United and Chelsea are playing a major classic tonight in the fight for qualification for the Champions League. Manchester City and Liverpool, who have sunk in their careers to win the Premier, already have seats secured and two remain decisive. Chelsea, third with 65 points, will practically secure the passport to win today at Old Trafford, while United (sixth with 54) will play their last chances.
The situation of the ‘red devils’, who lost to Liverpool (4-0) and Arsenal (3-1) last week and have four more games to play, is so desperate that their coach Ralf Rangnick admitted yesterday: ” I don’t want it to make sense to keep talking or thinking about the Champions League. We have to be realistic. ” Arsenal (fourth and scoring in the Champions zone) have 60 points with one game in hand.
Maguire and Sancho were added to the defeat of Pogba, Cavani, Fred and Shaw to United for this advanced classic of matchday 37.
Thomas Tuchel, for his part, had no Chilwell, Kovacic and Hudson-Odoi. The Chelsea coach was reunited with his German compatriot Rangnick, who coached him when he played for the Stuttgarter Kickers in the 1990s, then in the Second Division.
