United have struggled to replicate last season’s efforts, especially at Old Trafford, where they have lost five of their 11 matches in all competitions this term.
In particular, Erik ten Hag’s side have struggled against top-level opposition, losing to Newcastle United twice, Manchester City, Arsenal, Spurs and Brighton already this season. They may have similar trouble against a Chelsea outfit who are inconsistent but on the up.
The Blues won just one of their first six Premier League matches this term but have recently won six of their past 10 games in all competitions, with valuable draws against Manchester City and Arsenal.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have found their goalscoring touch, netting 12 times in their previous four games, and they could flourish against a leaky Red Devils backline.
United looked devoid of confidence in their 1-0 loss at Newcastle and Chelsea are fancied to inflict further pain on their opponents with victory in this one. But never the less I'm rooting for the blues to win the game against the red devils.
