Chelsea vs. Man United will air in the US on NBC Sports Network and Peacock Premium.
Manchester United aims to return to winning form on Saturday as it travels to the capital to face a Chelsea squad now in serious danger of missing out on a top-five finish.
United suffered a surprise 2-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened Leeds on Monday, with the fallout from that match providing interim boss Michael Carrick with the first true test of his short stint in the Old Trafford hot seat.
The loss, which drew jeers from the home crowd at halftime and at the final whistle, means the Red Devils now have a seven-point cushion over sixth-place Chelsea, which could narrow to four points with a loss here. The sending off of Lisandro Martínez in that game, along with Harry Maguire's current suspension, means United enter this game with a defensive selection crisis.
After a run of four defeats from their last five, Saturday's game is approaching must-win territory for Chelsea and its hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. Liam Rosenior's Blues come into the weekend's action four points behind fifth-place Liverpool.
Chelsea takes on Manchester United on Saturday, March 18, at Stamford Bridge in West London, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. BST. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.
