Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Joseph King | in Premier League Predictions
Fourth-place Manchester United host struggling 12th-place Chelsea for this rescheduled matchday 32 clash in the English Premier League. United can seal a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League with just a single point. They hold a three point lead over fifth-place Liverpool with two games to play compared to their rivals’ one. A win would also see Manchester United leapfrog third-place Newcastle, who they trail by just a single point. The season can’t end fast enough for floundering Chelsea who find themselves in the bottom half of the league table. The best position the Blues can achieve this season will be 11th-place. They sit one point behind Crystal Palace and nine points off 10th-place Fulham with two matches remaining.

Manchester United - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Manchester United have gotten back to winning ways following a two match losing streak in the beginning of May. The hosts have now won their last two on the trot, recording a 2-0 home win over Wolves before a 1-0 away victory over Bournemouth. It was a much needed away win for the team who were feeling the heat from fifth-place Liverpool coming into the matchday. There has been a stark contrast in Manchester United’s home performances compared to their away performances. The 20-time league champions have the second best home results in terms of average points per game at 2.47. They’ve racked up 13 wins from 17 outings and have lost just once at Old Trafford in this Premier League season.
The 2022/23 campaign has been an unmitigated disaster for Chelsea. The results are almost unfathomable given the amount of money spent and the profile of players brought to the club. A silver lining for Chelsea fans is the club has agreed to appoint former Spurs and PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino. The highly-regarded Argentinian will take over for the 2023/24 campaign meaning that Frank Lampard will see out the rest of the season as caretaker manager. Chelsea’s results under Lampard have been shambolic. The Blue Lions have lost seven of their nine total games under the former legendary midfielder’s watch, winning only once. Their last fixture resulted in a 1-0 away loss to champions Manchester City. The visitors have only managed to win five times in 17 away trips in the league, racking up nine losses along the way.

Manchester United & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is facing a few injury problems ahead of the match against Chelsea. He’ll be without influential defender Lisandro Martinez, back-up goalkeeper Tom Heaton and midfielders Marcel Sabitzer and Donny van de Beek. However, he can count on the return of top-goalscorer Marcus Rashford who had missed the previous two encounters. Rashford has been an integral part of United’s attack this season and has amassed 29 total goals in 53 appearances across all competitions. Expect a strong starting 11 here as the Dutchman will aim to seal his team’s spot in next season’s Champions League.
Frank Lampard has a number of injury concerns heading into this match. Chelsea will be without the services of Ben Chillwell, Mason Mount, N’Golo Kante, Marc Cucurella, Armando Broja, Marcus Bettinelli and Reece James. In addition, Lampard will still be awaiting news on whether or not Mateo Kovacic will be fit to take part. We’ll likely see a similar starting 11 to the one that took to the field on Sunday against Manchester City. Despite the 1-0 loss, the team performed admirably and had their chances to win.

Our Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction
It’s hard to see past Manchester United here, despite the somewhat steep odds on a home victory. It's simply not possible to back this Chelsea team with the way it’s constructed at the moment. Things will likely change next season with Pochettino in charge but there is a serious lack of cutting edge and goal scoring threat presently. The hosts have been dominant at Old Trafford this season and hold the league’s best home defensive record. The last five matches between these two sides have finished in a draw but we’re expecting Manchester United to end that streak on Thursday. Our Manchester United vs Chelsea prediction is for Manchester United to win.
