UNDER-21S END LEAGUE SEASON AT CHELSEA
Manchester United's Under-21 champions conclude the league campaign with an attractive fixture at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge on Friday night (kick-off 19:05 BST, live on MUTV).
Warren Joyce's side clinched the title at Tottenham Hotspur before losing 2-1 to Southampton last time out and the coach will be keen for his charges to end on a high, with a Manchester Senior Cup semi-final tie at Bury also in the diary for next Tuesday.
"We're going to Stamford Bridge, which is a great stadium, and we are playing against a good team so it's an ideal way to end the league season," said Joyce.
The two sides shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford recently but goalscorer James Weir is set to miss out again due to injury. On the plus side, Josh Harrop and Matty Willock both made an impact as substitutes in their comeback from injury at St Mary's with Harrop injecting creativity and energy into the attacking play and Willock pulling a goal back with a tidy finish.
Chelsea have also enjoyed success at younger levels, winning the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League again, but they sit sixth in the table, albeit with games still in hand at this late stage of the campaign.
