Chelsea vs Manchester United Preview and Team News
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea currently sit sixth in the table and still harbour hopes of making it to the UEFA Champions League next season. However, they’ll need to win all their games from now on for that to happen.
The Blues were recently handed a reality check by Manchester City in a 0-3 loss on Sunday. Liam Rosenior’s men have won just once in their last four matches, losing the other three, which doesn’t bode well for them.
Against City, Chelsea were so poor in the final third that they managed to create only one big chance or take three shots on target.
Filip Jorgensen, Levi Colwill, Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Jamie Gittens are ruled out with injuries.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Cucurella, Hato, Fofana, Gusto; Caicedo, Santos; Neto, Palmer, Estevao; Pedro.
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United recently suffered a 1-2 shock defeat to Leeds United at home. While they are still third in the table, their spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League is by no means guaranteed.
Interim manager Michael Carrick has transformed the team by reinstating the 4-2-3-1 formation (which had turned into 3-4-2-1 under Ruben Amorim), but a lot of work still needs to be done. The squad have become more fluid, particularly in transition, which was evident in the match against Leeds.
Left-back Luke Shaw drove counterattacks and ended the evening with 89% passing accuracy. Right-back Noussair Mazraoui, meanwhile, completed 80% of his passes.
The Red Devils will be without several key players. Lisandro Martinez is suspended, whereas Kobbie Mainoo, Matthijs de Ligt, and Patrick Dorgu are injured.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Shaw, Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Ugarte; Cunha, Fernandes, Diallo; Sesko.
Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United to win or draw
- Odds: -179 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Chelsea 1-3 Manchester United
Man United should be able to avoid defeat here. One reason is their recent form: they have remained unbeaten in three of their last five games, while Chelsea have lost four matches over the same period.
In H2H encounters, the Red Devils also hold an advantage. They’ve avoided defeat against Chelsea in 29 of the last 42 meetings between the clubs.
Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 3 goals
- Odds: -115 (20Bet)
This clash could produce at least four goals. United are expected to be the more aggressive side since they’ve found the back of the net on nine occasions in their last five outings. Chelsea have scored seven goals over the same period, but notably, all of them came in a single game against Port Vale.
The Blues have failed to get on the scoresheet in the other four encounters, which means much of the attacking responsibility may fall on the Red Devils. Captain Bruno Fernandes should play a key creative role, as he leads the league with the most assists (17) and the most big chances created (25).
