According to the valuation of German Transfer, Chelsea’s total value is 900 million euros and Manchester United’s 700 million euros, and the sum of the two teams’ value reaches 1.6 billion. Manchester United has 13 Premier League trophys and Chelsea won the Premier League five times, but the former two players are in decline. This dialogue has nothing to do with winning the championship - as early as the 34th round, Liverpool secured the Premier League championship. Chelsea, which has 63 points and 19 goals in 36 games, is currently ranked fifth, with 12 goals than Villardo, who is 6th. In the last two Premier League games, Chelsea faced Manchester United at home and challenged Nottingham Forest away. If all 6 points are scored, Chelsea will be worry-free in the top 5 and will enter the Champions League steadily. If you lose one of these games, Chelsea will be the fifth one. Manchester United, with 39 points in 36 games, is destined to set the lowest Premier League score in the history of the team. However, Manchester United is not under pressure to relegate. The purpose of the match with Chelsea is to "warm up" for the Europa League final in the early morning of May 22. The core players are not injured, keep competitive and prepare for the Europa League final. The victory or defeat is no longer important.

[Occurrence core PK Palmer vs. B Fee]

Chelsea core Palmer has left deep memories for Manchester United fans. In the Premier League last April, Chelsea beat Manchester United 4-3 at home, and Palmer scored a hat-trick, and the last goal was still a final goal. 23-year-old Palmer is a Manchester United fan, but he also took tough measures against the Red Devils: after joining Chelsea, he played against Manchester United three times in the Premier League and scored a total of 4 goals.

Manchester United's core B fee supports the weak Red Devils this season. This season, the Premier League has 8 goals and 9 assists. Including events such as the Europa League, the B fee is 19 goals and 17 assists, and directly participates in 36 goals. Among Premier League players this season, B Fee ranked second in 36 goals, second only to Salah. Of course, this gap is very big - Salah scored 34 goals and 22 assists in 54 games at Liverpool, creating 56 goals alone. In terms of injury, Chelsea's Nicholas Jackson was suspended, Sancho was unable to play with the avoidance clause; Manchester United's De Ligt, Zilkerze and Dalot were injured and absent.
