Chelsea vs Manchester United

52 league meetings on record, 2000–2026

Home Head-to-head Chelsea v Manchester United

52 league meetings, 2000 to 2026

After 52 meetings there is almost nothing in it: Chelsea have won 16, Manchester United 16, and 20 have finished level. A fixture played this often usually tilts one way in the end; this one has not.

The fixture changed hands. Up to 2013 Chelsea had the better of it; since then Manchester United have, and the overall record (16–20–16) hides the turn completely.

The record covers Premier League (52) and is recalculated from the individual results rather than copied from a table, which is why it can be read against any other pairing on this site on the same terms.

How this record is put together

Every row above is a league match played between the two clubs and held in this archive, which begins with the 2000/01 season. A meeting is counted once, on the date it was played, and the score is the full-time result. Where the two clubs have spent seasons in different divisions there is simply a gap in the sequence — the fixture did not exist that year, rather than being left out.

Compare any other two clubs with the head-to-head tool, which opens on this pairing, or read the records these matches feed into.
