The Premier League has confirmed the match officials who will referee Manchester United vs Chelsea on Wednesday night.

Manchester United have yet to get their season on track and they will be aiming to re-ignite their winning form in the Premier League against Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

It’s a game that Erik ten Hag cannot afford to be losing after watching his side put in a lacklustre display against Newcastle United on Saturday.

Newcastle deserved to take all three points at the weekend and Ten Hag must demand a better performance from his players this week.
