CHELSEA continue their pursuit of Champions League football - but will do it two days earlier than expected.

Last year's clash at Stamford Bridge saw one of the most remarkable comebacks in Premier League history.

Manchester United were leading Chelsea with 109 minutes on the clock, yet by the 111th minute, Chelsea were leading.

Cole Palmer scored from the spot, and then was stupidly left unmarked from a corner a minute later, scoring to round off a hat-trick and a staggering win for Chelsea.

The Blues will be cautious of former man Mason Mount hitting form just before they clash, the Chelsea academy graduate having scored three times in three games.

With Champions League football looming for the Blues, they will want a comfortable result against a struggling United.
