📅Date: Friday, May 16, 2025.

📍Venue: Stamford Bridge, London

🏆Competition: English Premier League – Matchday 37

⌚Kickoff: 8:15 PM GMT

Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge in a must-win Premier League clash with both sides desperate for vastly different reasons.

For the Blues, currently clinging to fifth spot, it’s a shot at Champions League redemption. For 16th-placed United, it's a matter of pride—and avoiding the club’s worst league finish in the modern era.

🔵 Chelsea: Fortress Bridge & a Top-Five Lifeline | Home Win = 1.43💵

After a five-game winning streak, Chelsea’s European charge stumbled in a 2-0 away defeat to Newcastle. But their home form is impeccable—just two losses at the Bridge all season.

Maresca’s men have turned Stamford Bridge into a stronghold, unbeaten in their last four against United there since 2021. A win on Wednesday could be vital in holding off Villa in the top-five race.

Even without a suspended Jackson, an ineligible Sancho, and injured Nkunku and Guiu, the Blues will still fancy their chances of creating something by midfielders like Palmer and Enzo to break down a leaky United defence.

🔴Man United: Facing Their Worst EPL Finish Ever | Away Win = 7.57💵

United have gone seven league games without a win, their latest being a 2-0 loss at home to West Ham. They sit a dismal 16th, having lost 17 league matches.

Their Europa League final with Spurs looms large, but with Premier League records going from bad to worse by the minute, Ruben Amorim’s men cannot afford to ignore this critical away tie.

Injuries to key defenders, including Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro, further deplete an already fragile squad. Scoring options also remain limited with Zirkzee out.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Chelsea:

• Out: Nicolas Jackson (suspension), Nkunku (knock), Guiu (hamstring), Fofana (muscle), Kellyman (hamstring)

• Unavailable: Jadon Sancho (ineligible vs parent club)

Man United:

• Out: Zirkzee (hamstring), Martinez (knee), Dalot (calf), Yoro (foot – doubt)

Expect midfielders like Enzo Fernandez and Casemiro to be very important to their various teams’ play, while Palmer and Bruno Fernandes could be the difference-makers in the final third.

Real Madrid welcome Mallorca to the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night in a crucial La Liga clash that could officially hand the title to Barcelona if Los Blancos fail to win.

Having lost 4-3 in a pulsating El Clasico last weekend, Real Madrid are now seven points adrift of the leaders with just three games remaining. Victory is a must if they hope to delay Barca’s title celebrations for at least 24 more hours.

🔵⚪Real Madrid Seek Pride, Not the Crown | Home Win = 1.39💵

The mood in the Spanish capital is one of frustration following Sunday’s dramatic defeat at Montjuïc. Despite Kylian Mbappe’s hat-trick heroics, Madrid’s defensive collapse saw them concede four first-half goals to Barcelona, a result that has almost certainly ended their title challenge.

Carlo Ancelotti, who is set to leave at the end of the season to take over as Brazil coach, now looks to guide his side to a strong finish with remaining fixtures against Mallorca, Sevilla, and Real Sociedad.

Madrid has won 14 of 17 home games in La Liga this season (D1, L2), and they’ll be eager to maintain that momentum. Los Blancos also boast a dominant home record against Mallorca, winning their last eight La Liga meetings at the Bernabéu and scoring 25 goals across those fixtures.

❤️Mallorca Aiming for European Push | Away Win = 8.09💵

Mallorca, who sit ninth in the table, come into this fixture with Europa or Conference League dreams still alive. Jagoba Arrasate’s men ended a three-game winless run by beating relegated Real Valladolid 2-1, showing signs of resilience and ambition.

Though they held Madrid to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, their away form remains a concern. Mallorca have lost five of their last eight road trips and failed to score in eight of 17 La Liga away matches—only Getafe and Sociedad have fared worse.

Still, with European places just two points out of reach, Mallorca will be motivated to punch above their weight. Any result in Madrid could prove massive for their continental aspirations.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Madrid will be without several starters: Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy, and Camavinga are all sidelined. Vinicius Jr. (ankle) is a major doubt, while Lucas Vázquez and Tchouameni (suspension) are also ruled out.

Kylian Mbappe remains the central figure, with five goals in his last two league games. Rodrygo, still recovering from illness, may return to the starting XI depending on fitness levels.

For Mallorca, Abdon Prats, Morlanes, and Navarro are confirmed absentees. Chiquinho remains doubtful, while Jose Copete, Antonio Sanchez, and Cyle Larin could be rotated into the starting lineup by Arrasate.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 5.41💵

⚽ Real Madrid have scored 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 10 La Liga home games, including a 4-1 and 4-2 victories over Las Palmas and Sevilla, respectively. | Goals Market (Home O/U): Over 1.5= 1.40

⚽ Mallorca have scored at least one goal in 3 of their last 5 La Liga clashes against Real Madrid. | Goals Market (Away O/U): Over 0.5= 1.67

⚽ Both Real Madrid and Mallorca have conceded a goal in 4 of their last 6 games in all competitions, suggesting defensive troubles for both teams. | Main Market (GG/NG): Yes = 1.89

With pride and a proper send-off for Ancelotti on the line, expect Real Madrid to respond with intensity. Mallorca’s European hopes add spice, but their poor away form may leave them outgunned at the Bernabéu.
