Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 06/12/2023, 02:00 by Joseph King | Modified on 06/12/2023 at 04:39 in Premier League Predictions

Seventh-place Manchester United play host to 10th-place Chelsea for matchday 15 of the English Premier League. In what would have been a potential title-deciding clash 10 years ago, Manchester United and Chelsea now find themselves in very different positions. Despite these two teams now closer to mid-table than the top four, this fixture still represents must-see Premier League TV. The Red Devils have experienced more than their share of turbulence this season but they remain only three points off of fifth-place Tottenham. Chelsea, meanwhile, trail their opponents today by five points as they attempt to build some momentum.

Manchester United - Chelsea: Form Analysis

It has not been a good week for Manchester United who had previously looked like they might be picking up steam after back-to-back league wins. A devastating blown-lead to Galatasaray in a 3-3 draw all but eliminated United from progression in the Champions League. They would follow that up with an abject performance in a 1-0 loss to Newcastle on the weekend in a match where they struggled to create much of anything going forward. Erik ten Hag’s team mustered together only 0.48 expected goals (xG) with only a single shot on target in that game. On the defensive side, they would give up 2.50 xG to the Magpies as well as four clear cut scoring chances. Man United were able to win their most recent appearance at Old Trafford, a 1-0 result against newly-promoted Luton Town.

Chelsea pulled off a much-needed 3-2 win at home over Brighton despite having a player sent off just before the half-time whistle. The Blues were ahead 2-1 before Conor Gallagher picked up his second yellow card. An Enzo Fernandez penalty in the second-half allowed Chelsea to withstand the late Brighton barrage as they held on for an important three points. The win pulls Pochettino’s side to 10th-place with their 5-4-5 record good for 19 points. They are also 3-1-1 in their last five fixtures across all competitions. The visitors are actually performing better on the season when playing away from Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are averaging 1.67 points won per away trip compared to just 1.13 points averaged per home outing.

Manchester United & Chelsea Squad Analysis

Much has been made of Manchester United's injury problems this season. However, fans will find it hard to have sympathy given Newcastle were going through a worse situation and managed to comfortably beat the Red Devils on the weekend. Manager Erik ten Hag will be without six of his players for the welcome of Chelsea on Wednesday. Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia and Amad Diallo have all been ruled out for this contest. Rasmus Hojlund is expected to return to lead the line after starting on the bench against Newcastle.

Chelsea gaffer Mauricio Pochettino has a few injury concerns of his own ahead of the trip up north. Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah are all officially ruled out for this one. The Blues could get a huge boost soon with expensive summer signing Christopher Nkunku closing in on a return after a knee injury has seen him miss 20 games so far. Another piece of good news for Pochettino is that Reece James and Marc Cucurella are now available for selection after each serving suspensions.

Our Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction

Chelsea look like they might finally be putting the pieces together after a decent stretch of form. The underlying numbers have been there for Chelsea this season, especially on the road where only the defending champions have put up better metrics. Manchester United, on the other hand, are in the opposite boat. They've actually been running above expectation when taking into acount their poor expected goals numbers. There's a reason the bookmakers have Chelsea as the favorites here despite a poor record at Old Trafford in the Premier League over the years. Our Manchester United vs Chelsea prediction is for Chelsea to win the match.
