Chelsea can put a heap of heat on its top-five competition if it beats old rivals Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Friday.
The Blues open Week 37 in the final Champions League qualification spot with 63 points, above sixth-place Aston Villa on points and Nottingham Forest by one point. A win would boost Chelsea over Man City and, if it’s by a five-goal blowout, past third-place Newcastle United on goal differential.
