Chelsea face a crucial Premier League match at home against crisis-ridden Manchester United on Saturday.

The Catalan giants, currently leading La Liga on 27 points, have suffered a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid and a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in La Liga recently. Manager Luis Enrique will be eager to return to winning ways ahead of the November international break.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid will aim to secure a seventh consecutive win in La Liga when they travel to Levante on Saturday. The Spanish side sit second in the table, two points behind Barcelona, while Levante currently occupies 14th position with 10 points. Manager Diego Simeone will hope his team can capitalize on Levante's recent poor form, having lost 10 of their last 41 matches against Atletico in all competitions.
