Manchester United vs. Chelsea Preview

Manchester United v Chelsea Betting Tips

Below are some insights into this rival clash that may help you place a winning bet when the two teams meet at Old Trafford this weekend:  

• Remarkably, there’s nothing to separate Manchester United and Chelsea in EPL history. The teams have met 64 times, each winning 19 (13 at home and six away) and drawing 26 times. Something has to give, but the head-to-head stats show how closely these two teams are matched.  

• Both teams have scored in the past five Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Chelsea. Therefore, a BTTS wager could be better than picking a match-winner.  

• At least three goals have been scored in the past three Manchester United v Chelsea clashes. In those three matches, 12 goals have been scored, resulting in an average of four per game. Therefore, if recent history is to repeat itself, a totals bet of over 2.5 or 3.5 goals could be an good way to profit from this clash.  

This Fixture in History

Chelsea have only beaten Manchester United once in the past five EPL meetings between the sides. That victory came in the remarkable game at Stamford Bridge last April when Chelsea scored two goals after the 100-minute mark to turn things around to win 4-3. It was an all-time classic Premier League fixture in which Cole Palmer scored a hat-trick for the Blues.  

Before the 4-3, United beat Chelsea 2-1 and 4-1 at Old Trafford, while the season before saw two 1-1 draws between the teams.  

Manchester United Man to Watch: Alejandro Garnacho

Though he was in and out of the team under Erik Ten Hag and suffered a recent knee injury, Alejandro Garnacho is undoubtedly one of Manchester United’s best players.  

The young Argentine has two EPL goals to his name this season, and he starred in that 4-3 game at Stamford Bridge last time out, showing that he’s capable of scoring against the Blues with two goals in the fixture. If Van Nistelrooy selects him, expect much of Manchester United’s threat from the talented Garnacho, who will be keen to show the new manager what he’s capable of.  

Chelsea Man to Watch: Cole Palmer

Chelsea’s enigmatic Cole Palmer has seven goals in nine English Premier League appearances to date, and the Englishman could be on his way to the Golden Boot at the end of the season. He also tops Chelsea’s assists chart with five, showing just how crucial he is to the Blues’ style of play.  

Like Garnacho, Palmer starred in the last meeting between the two teams, scoring a hat-trick, including two injury-time strikes to secure Chelsea’s incredible turnaround. If Palmer’s at his brilliant best, it could be a tough afternoon for Manchester United.
