Manchester United will look to bounce back from their disappointing derby defeat at the hands of rivals Man City when they take on Chelsea in Game Week 5. The Red Devils weren’t involved in European action in midweek, while Chelsea lost 3-1 to Bayern in Munich. Here are the pundit predictions for this clash
Chris Sutton
Sutton says it’s hard to make a case for United winning this one, and backs Chelsea to take this 2-1, especially in the light of Cole Palmer returning to form.
Here is a look at the player ratings for Bayern Munich vs Chelsea from their September 2025 Champions League clash from the likes of German papers Bild and Kicker as well as French sports paper L’Equipe.

Bild player ratings Bayern vs Chelsea 2025 Champions League
(German system of rating, so 1 is very good, and 6 is very bad)

Here is a look at the Liverpool FC vs Atleti player ratings from their Champions League game on 17 September, 2025. LFC edged Atletico Madrid 3-2 in extra time.
LFC 3 (Robertson 4′, Salah 6′, Van Dijk 90+2′)
Atletico Madrid 2 (Marcos Llorente 45+3′, 81′)
Marca player ratings Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid 3-2
A forgettable evening for former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher and Barca defender Clement Lenglet, both of whom weren’t deemed worthy of a rating by Spanish paper Marca. They were also critical of Italian referee Mariani.
Marca had Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch as the pick of the Liverpool players in this 2025 tie against Atleti.
L’Equipe player ratings LFC vs Atleti UCL 2025/26 league phase
It was a poor outing for both goalkeepers according to L’Equipe- they gave both Oblak and Alisson a 4/10 rating. A 4/10 was also given to ref Mariani and Atleti coach Diego Simeone.
