The Premier League has been hailed as the most exciting tournament in the world, but in recent months there has been an increase in disputes both in the courts and on the pitch. The sanctioning of Everton has triggered a detailed investigation into the activities of other clubs, with a particular focus on the movements of Manchester City and Chelsea. While there has been a recent focus on a possible punishment for Manchester City, a recent news story has raised concerns for the Blues.

The economic power of the British league could pose a challenge to Barcelona in the transfer market. There is speculation that Aston Villa and Everton are interested in bringing Fermin Lopez to the Premier League. However, the midfielder has no intention of bidding farewell to the culé club.

Marcus Edwards, 25, is showing outstanding performances for Sporting Portugal, which continues to generate interest across Europe. Despite being aware of this, his focus is on finishing the season in the best possible way with the Portuguese side. However, as reported by A Bola, Crystal Palace have shown interest in the attacker and he has become a target on the English club's agenda.

Winter reinforcements have hardly strengthened Sevilla, who continue to look at the relegation places with concern, especially after their defeat to Celta before the break. Inter Milan's Lucien Agoumé has been injured for several weeks, while Hannibal Mejbri and Alejo Véliz have barely featured in Quique Flores' plans. This situation is not to the liking of Manchester United and Tottenham, two Premier League giants, who expect their promising young players to gain experience when on loan.

Manchester City have their sights set on central defense during the upcoming summer transfer window, and as reported by 'The Mirror', Pep Guardiola is interested in promising Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. The 21-year-old Branthwaite has made 31 appearances and scored 2 goals in all competitions this season.

Following statements in which the footballer left open the option of changing teams, three major Premier League clubs have begun to evaluate the possibility of signing Bruno Guimaraes. In addition, on previous occasions, the player has also been linked with Real Madrid.

Cesc Fabregas and David Silva were leaders among Spanish footballers who excelled in the Premier League. Both midfielders experienced periods of enormous success with their teams, Fabregas at Arsenal and Silva at Manchester City. Although Fabregas also left a significant mark during five years at Chelsea, his legacy with the Gunners is the one that lingers most strongly in the collective memory.

The wait for the Premier League is over, all the action, the best goals, the best plays, the hottest controversies and the best players are back on the lawns of England with the best games in the world.

This is the start time of the game Chelsea vs Manchester United of 4th April in several countries

For this match, the player to watch for Manchester United will be Marcus Rashford. The British player is one of the best wingers in the league and in the Eagles' team, his great ability to run down the flanks and put precise crosses into the box makes him an important piece in the starting eleven, also, his versatility to play as a striker when required, allows him to be unbalanced to tip the balance in favor of Manchester United.  

Throughout the 90 minutes we will have to follow Nicolas Jackson with a magnifying glass, the Senegalese is one of the most important pieces in the Chelsea team as his experience in English soccer has allowed him to develop in a great way, knowing how to move in the big area, having a great finishing technique and above all being a killer to tip the balance in favor of Chelsea.

Chelsea and Manchester United have met at least 194 times (54 Chelsea wins, 60 draws, 80 Manchester United wins) with the scales tipping heavily in favor of the Red Devils. In terms of goal scoring history, Chelsea have scored on 231 occasions, while Manchester United only boast 305 goals scored. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 15 of the Premier League 23/24 where Manchester United beat Chelse 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Stamford Bridge Stadium is one of the most historic venues in English soccer, this stadium dedicated solely to the practice of soccer at professional level is the home of Chelsea and Chelsea Women for home matches in the Premier League and the Barclays Wome's Premier League. Interestingly, this venue is located in Fulham and not in Chelsea, so this factor makes the Chelsea-Fulham duel attractive, adding a "spicier" flavor to the derby. The capacity of Stamford Bridge is 41,841 spectators in its seats and has four stars awarded by UEFA, being a top category Stadium.

Manchester United is currently in sixth place in the general table with 29 games played, which are divided into 15 wins, 13 draws and 11 defeats, also, in the statistics they have 40 goals for and 40 against, having a balance at the moment in the team. All this gives a total of 48 points for the red devil's team that wants to continue climbing positions, however, they are in a situation where they cannot slow down the pace because a series of defeats would lower their position in a zone where their pursuers only lack 3 or 4 points to reach them and with 7 rounds left to play, they could get into trouble at the end of the campaign. 

Nobody would have imagined that a few seasons ago Chelsea was giving one of the best performances in the Premier League and in Europe, but today, they are not even the shadow of what those blues were because despite the incorporation of new signings, Chelsea has not managed to get up from the long slump in which they have been stuck for some time, however, now, what remains is to make a worthy end of the campaign and seek to get into one of the places accessible to the UEFA Conference League or UEFA Europa League at the last minute. For the moment, Chelsea has won 11 games, drawn 7 and lost 10, giving them a total of 40 points for the campaign, placing them in eleventh place in the overall table, 8 points away from the place that will give them access to European competitions, which is currently occupied by their rival in this game, Manchester United. 

The Chelsea vs Manchester United match will be played at Stamford Bridge, in Fulham, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 3:15 pm ET.
