Chelsea vs Manchester United Preview and Team News
Chelsea Team News
All the pressure in the Premier League for this Friday’s clash between Chelsea and Manchester United will be on the home team. Enzo Maresca’s side requires an immediate response after losing 2-0 at Newcastle on Sunday. That defeat means that Chelsea sit inside the top five places on goal difference.
Chelsea have been consistent in their home matches throughout this season, winning 61% of their matches at Stamford Bridge. Maresca’s side have scored an average of 1.89 goals per game from an xG of 2.05.
However, they will be without key forwards Christopher Nkunku and the suspended Nicolas Jackson this week. Jadon Sancho is ineligible to play against his parent club. Wesley Fofana remains out until the end of May due to a thigh injury.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Neto, Fernandez, Palmer; Madueke.
Manchester United Team News
Ruben Amorim’s full attention will be on Manchester United’s upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur. However, domestically the club have struggled throughout the campaign, and they could be on course for an extremely poor 17th-place finish in the Premier League standings.
Manchester United have struggled in the final third throughout the season, scoring an average of just 1.17 goals per game from an xG of 1.55. Despite this, Man United have performed consistently defensively after allowing 1.47 goals per game from an xGA of 1.35.
Leny Yoro limped off in the defeat against West Ham last Sunday. Matthijs de Ligt, Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirzkee, and Lisandro Martinez are all out injured. Amorim is expected to rest key players ahead of the European final, meaning Bruno Fernandes is among those who will likely feature among the subs.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Chelsea (3-4-2-1): Bayindir; Mazraoui, Lindelöf, Fredricson; Dorgu, Mainoo, Eriksen, Amass; Garnacho, Mount; Obi-Martin.
Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win
- Odds: -294 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United
With this match being played just five days before the Europa League final, Amorim is unlikely to take any chances with his key players at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, this could effectively be a free hit for the hosts.
Chelsea have been strong in home matches throughout this season, and they should be capable of creating chances at ease against a United side that has struggled domestically in recent months.
It could also be worth noting that the hosts have avoided defeat in seven of their last nine Premier League matches against the visitors.
Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +167 (20Bet)
With Manchester United’s Europa League final against Tottenham coming up next week, Amorim’s side will likely be defensively-minded on Friday. Chelsea will be without a recognized number nine after Jackson’s red card against Newcastle, meaning that goals could be kept to a minimum.
It only enhances that prospect based on the stats, as Chelsea and Manchester United games this season have only had averages of 2.92 and 2.64, respectively. Alternatively, both teams not to score could be an interesting angle, as Manchester United have failed to score in 39% of their Premier League matches this season.
