Apr 18, 2015 12:17 PM EDT

Chelsea and Manchester United are battling at Stamford Bridge for a late season English Premier League match and the game is live on the Barclays EPL schedule from the NBC Sports Network Live Extra website and on TV from NBC starting at 12:30 pm ET as Man Utd tries to knock off the Blues and Jose Mourinho's first place side.

Chelsea has been leading the table all season and they have a solid lead on Arsenal, but they also can't stumble at the end of the year. The team has a six point lead and a game in hand and as it stands right now, they are the clear favorites for the title. The Blues have some tough matchups coming and they play Man United here at Stamford Bridge as they push towards the end.

Chelsea is hoping to have back Loic Remy after he missed out on the match against Queens Park with a calf injury. Diego Costa has been out, but he could return next week when the team takes on Arsenal. Man United is also dealing with some players being out for injury or suspension, including Jonny Evans, Michael Carrick and Phil Jones. The team has been playing well and they want to secure a top three spot to get back into the Champions League.

Man United won last week in the Derby, but they lost some players to injury and that could put the match in Chelsea's hands. Carrick could be a big loss for the team, as he has been on the pitch for 12 wins and the team has only lost once when he has been in the starting lineup. Rooney could be pushed back and that could have an impact on how the team plays on Saturday.

Chelsea has been very good at Stamford Bridge this season and they have only lost once there and they have the chance to finish out the EPL without losing at home again. Chelsea has the edge in the standings and they have a clear path to the victory in the EPL this year. Chelsea has not lost in the past four matchups with Manchester United and Man U has only won six times in the last 23 against Chelsea, which bodes well for the Blues.

Winning at Stamford Bridge is tough and the team will have to get things going early for a chance to win this matchup. Chelsea last lost in the Premier League a year ago and that was to Sunderland and now they have the chance to keep things going against United, The team got a win against QPR after a goal from Cesc Fabregas and the team has not been held to a clean sheet since back in November.
