Manchester United have made yet another slow start to the Premier League season, winning just one game from the eight played so far. The Red Devils, placed 16th on the table, are in desperate need of a win as they face arch rivals Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge. A win could boost the team's morale, but the job is easier said than done.
Chelsea aren't in their best phase, either. They have four wins from eight games overall, but back-to-back 2-0 losses to Everton and Spurs have stalled their momentum. They also got knocked out of the EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) by Liverpool on Wednesday, meaning their last three outings have all ended in defeats.
With both teams struggling for form, it will be interesting to see if one can grab a win and turn things around. Supporters on either side will also look for bragging rights. If you're excited, here are all the details you need to watch Chelsea vs. Manchester United using a streaming service, free streaming trial, or VPN.
The Chelsea vs. Manchester United Premier League game will kick off at 8:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 31.
In the US, NBC holds the Premier League broadcast rights and will stream all games on Peacock and televise them on its USA Network and NBC channels.
You may be able to stream the games for free by signing up for a free trial on DirecTV, FuboTV, YouTube TV, or another live TV streaming service that offers NBC. Subject to eligibility, these trials usually last for just a few days, so be sure to cancel your subscription before your first bill arrives.
Unlike the World Cup, there aren’t a lot of free streaming options for the 2026-27 Premier League season. The only legit free streaming provider is a YouTube channel from Brazil called CazéTV, which will stream one Premier League game for free each matchday. This weekend's free offering is Chelsea vs. Manchester United.
Watching soccer games on the channel is easy. There’s no sign-up required; all you need to ensure is that you’re signed in to your YouTube account.
CazéTV, however, is geo-restricted to Brazil, and you may need a virtual private network (VPN) to access the livestream. We recommend ExpressVPN, our top pick for location spoofing. With server locations across the globe, ExpressVPN makes it easy to obscure your actual location and unlock geo-blocked content.
Here’s how you can watch Chelsea vs. Manchester United for free using ExpressVPN.
Note: The game’s commentary may not be available in English. It will most likely be in Brazilian Portuguese.
Usually, the top VPNs that let you connect to servers in other countries aren’t free, but some of them do offer free trials. If you already have a VPN subscription or qualify for a free trial, you’ll be able to watch Chelsea vs. Manchester United at no additional cost.
With Chelsea and United struggling for form, managers on either side have been rotating players to find the best combination. United's Michael Carrick, in particular, has been making surprise picks while fighting to keep his job. In last week's home game against Bournemouth, for instance, he benched Bruno Fernandes, raising the eyebrows of both fans and pundits. Fernandes is expected to return against Chelsea, while Carrick's defense line remains a head-scratcher.
For Chelsea, Cole Palmer is expected to make a return after serving a one-match suspension for the red card he picked up against Spurs last week. In that case, Moises Caicedo and Jordan Henderson could hold the midfield, with Palmer, Pedro Neto, Morgan Rogers, and Danny Welbeck as the four attacking players in front of them.
Based on recent form and squad selections, here are the lineups that we think could take the field on Saturday:
