Premier League Soccer Livestream: How to Watch Man United vs. Chelsea From Anywhere
Chelsea #Chelsea
Manchester United will be hoping to bring some rare cheer to Old Trafford today, as Erik ten Hag’s struggling side face Chelsea at home in the English Premier League.
United have had a week to forget, after their damaging 3-3 draw in their Champions League trip to Galatasaray was followed by an equally demoralizing 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday.
Unlike United, Chelsea are showing signs of improvement after their poor start to the campaign, with Mauricio Pochettino’s men coming into this fixture off the back of a feisty 3-2 victory against Brighton.
One point of optimism for the hosts ahead of this match is United’s recent record against the Blues. The Red Devils are currently on an unbeaten run of 11 league games against their west London rivals, with their last loss against Chelsea coming in a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge all the way back in November 2017.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services for watching all of the action live wherever you are in the world.
Man United have struggled to beat the EPL’s big clubs so far this season under Erik ten Hag, having lost all five of their matches against teams in the top eight.

How to watch the Manchester United vs. Chelsea game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
