Welcome to The Preview on The Athletic FC, where each week we go deep on the biggest game of the weekend.

This week — we’re focusing on Manchester United against Chelsea.

In the first Premier League game since Erik ten Hag's sacking, interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will be looking to get his side back on track.

But with the chance to go nine points clear of United, can Enzo Maresca make a statement in Chelsea's bid for Champions League football?

Plus, we look at the fixtures elsewhere with drop ins from the club podcasts across our network.
