Chelsea vs Manchester United: Predictions and Betting Tips

Chelsea to continue their good form 

The Blues are in great form and it seems it paid off changing Frank Lampard with new boss Thomas Tuchel as they are undefeated in nine matches in all competitions and are going into this match after a very impressive midweek UEFA Champions League win away to Spanish La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid.

In their last match in the Premier League, they lost two important points in their quest to finish top four, but they are just two points behind the fourth-placed West Ham and a win here against the Red Devils could see them topple the Hammers who have a difficult match away to Manchester City.

Manchester United to stay within reach of city rivals

Since season 2012-2013, Manchester United fans will feel this is the closest they came to win the title again, but they were outrun by their rivals Manchester who have opened up a comfortable ten-point lead at the top of the English Premier League table.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in eight matches in all competitions, but three draws in their last five games in the Premier League saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team fall behind.

They now have a very difficult match in Stamford bridge and there is no margin for error in this one if they want to stay in touch with The Citizens. The Norwegian coach might have some injury worries concerning Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay and Edinson Cavani, but he hopes they can recover for Sunday

Key Stats

• Chelsea are unbeaten in three home matches

• Chelsea have scored at least one goal in the last two home matches

• Manchester United are unbeaten in 12 away matches
• Manchester United have scored at least one goal in the last four matches

We think it will be a close match and not too many goals scored in it. Thus we predict under 2.5 goals.
