Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction

Chelsea Form

In has been a bit of everything for Chelsea in their previous three matches, where they first beat Everton by 0-2. This was followed by a disappointing 0-2 defeat against Tottenham, before an encounter with Liverpool produced a 1-1 draw. Chelsea won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored 14 and conceded 12 goals.

Standards are high at a club like The Blues and as such the season is so far going according to plan.

Manchester United Form

A draw is all that prevents Manchester United from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed this single draw against Leeds as the match ended 1-1 before getting trounced against Como by a 4-1 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Bournemouth won the game and the exact score was 0-3. Manchester United only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew four and lost one as well as being outscored by six goals to seven.

The Red Devils entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

We are a little surprise to see the prices on offer at the bookies for a home win, as we think the form of Chelsea is better than odds suggest. We back them to claim a home win against Manchester United.

Chelsea scored ten goals and conceded five in their last four games against teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. They collected nine points and three victories. Manchester United won zero and claimed zero points in their one most recent games against teams inside the top six. They scored zero conceded one goals. Chelsea have a record of four wins, one draw and three defeats in the Premier League this season. Manchester United are looking at one win, four draws and three defeats in the Premier League.
