In the only “Big Six” match of the English Premier League opening weekend, two iconic teams will open a new era as both Manchester United and Chelsea FC look to push back to the top of the table. They share 18 of the league’s 27 championships between them, however, they both unperformed last season.
For Chelsea, the game marks the Premier League debut of manager Frank Lampard, in just his second season as a manager after guiding Championship side Derby County to the promotion playoff final in 2018-2019. But the even bigger story for Chelsea will be the debut of United States national Christian Pulisic who, as USA Today reports, is expected to fill the Eden Hazard void, starting with the match that will live stream from Old Trafford.

On Manchester United’s side, the club placed 6th last season, five points behind 3rd place Chelsea, and out of the UEFA Champions League.
