Indicating their bias toward productive encounters, we’ve had goals 20 times in the previous 6 games in which Manchester United have played, yielding a mean average of 3.33 goals for each fixture. Opposing teams have got 9 from this total. That pattern isn’t assured to be sustained here, however.
Taking a look at their past results, Manchester United:
- have not emerged victorious against Chelsea when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
- remain unbeaten by Chelsea when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. A very good run of results for them.

🗞️ Team News: Chelsea
Wesley Fofana (Knee Injury), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring Injury) and Reece James (Knee Injury) won’t be able to feature for Chelsea gaffer Graham Potter.
We are thinking that The Blues look set to employ a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match and select Kepa Arrizabalaga, Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ben Chilwell, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount and P. Aubameyang.
🗞️ Team News: Manchester United
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has some current player fitness concerns. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Unknown Injury), Anthony Martial (Back Injury), Donny van de Beek (Knock) and Harry Maguire (Hamstring Injury) are not able to play. Cristiano Ronaldo cannot play in this game through suspension.
We are inclined to think that The Red Devils could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting David De Gea, Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
✨ Prediction
We believe that Manchester United are capable enough to find the net against this Chelsea team, however that is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.
We’re going for a close game with a 2-1 victory for Chelsea by the conclusion of the game. It’s a very tough call.
