Chelsea will take on Manchester United this Saturday, April 18 at 7pm GMT in the highlight clash of matchday 33 in the Premier League. Here are some key stats ahead of this showdown.

3: The Blues have suffered two consecutive home defeats in the league, against Newcastle United and Manchester City. They haven’t lost three in a row at Stamford Bridge since November 1993.

4: Chelsea are looking to avoid a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat, something that hasn't happened since April-May 2023 (also a run of four losses).

7: Since Michael Carrick took charge in January, Manchester United have posted a positive record with 7 wins in 11 matches.

13: The Londoners have collected 13 points after falling behind in the league this season, proof of their resilience and ability to bounce back.

19: João Pedro has racked up 19 goal contributions in the Premier League (14 goals, 5 assists) and could become the sixth Chelsea player to reach 20 in his debut season.

20: That’s the number of different players who have scored for the Blues in all competitions. The club record is 21 different scorers, set in the 2021/22 season and equaled last year. Benoît Badiashile, Dário Essugo, Wesley Fofana, Roméo Lavia, and Mamadou Sarr are the only squad members yet to find the net.

21: Away from home, Manchester United have struggled defensively, keeping just one clean sheet in their last 21 Premier League matches on the road.

40: The Red Devils are experiencing an unusual season: eliminated early from domestic cups (League Cup against Grimsby, FA Cup against Brighton), they will play only 40 matches in all competitions — their lowest total since 1914/15.
