The line-ups listed are from each team's last match in this tournament.
Manchester United
The Red Devils suffered a 1-2 away defeat to West Ham in the last round, conceding the decisive penalty goal after the 90th minute. This game was the final straw for the club's management, which decided to dismiss Erik ten Hag. In their last five EPL games, the club has only managed one victory (2 draws and 2 losses). Manchester United has dropped to the 14th position, having scored only 8 goals. Only Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored fewer, with 6 goals each.
Erik ten Hag has been sacked, and Ruben Amorim, who previously managed Sporting Lisbon, has been appointed in his place. Rude van Nistelrooy will temporarily take charge for the upcoming fixture. It should also be noted that defenders Tyrell Malacia, Noussair Mazraoui, Leni Joro, Luke Shaw, and Harry Maguire, midfielders Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo, as well as forward Antony Matheus will miss out due to injuries.
- No more than three goals have been scored in Manchester United's last 10 EPL matches.
- Manchester United has scored at most once in 7 of their last 9 EPL games.
- The club has only won once in the first half in their last nine home league games (3 draws and 5 losses).
Chelsea
The Blues won their last match at home against Newcastle with a score of 2-1. This victory allowed them to climb to the fifth spot in the league table. They are just one point behind Arsenal and Aston Villa, who occupy the third and fourth positions. Enzo Maresca's men have scored 19 goals, which is the second-best tally in the league after Manchester City's 20.
Forward Jadon Sancho will miss the match due to the terms of his loan agreement.
- Chelsea has only lost once in their last eight EPL matches (5 wins and 2 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Chelsea's last 8 league encounters.
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in 8 of the club's last 11 EPL matches.
Manchester United vs Chelsea: match prediction
Despite Manchester United's recent low scoring form, I expect the team to score at least once in this game. A change in head coach should have a positive impact on the players and their performance. Additionally, Manchester United has scored in 11 of their last 14 home league matches but has also conceded in 8 of their last 9 games at Old Trafford.
Of course, the visitors should also score. Chelsea has one of the best attacks in the Premier League. In their last 15 EPL matches, Chelsea failed to score only against Manchester City. In this series of games, the team scored at least two goals 10 times. Chelsea's away games in the EPL have also been eventful, with three or more goals scored in 9 of their last 10 matches.
My prediction is "Total Over 3" with odds of
