Reason for Manchester United vs Chelsea Predictions
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. Jadon Sancho. is enjoying himself on the field, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems because he goes through the defense like a fast train. Scott McTominay has found the right role in the team, he moves very well in the middle of the field, and it is not easy to take the ball away from this guy. Lisandro Martínez (Foot injury), Tyrell Malacia (unknown injury), Jonny Evans (Hamstring strain), Amad Diallo (Knee injury), Mason Mount (unknown injury), Casemiro (Knock) and Christian Eriksen (Knee injury) won’t be playing for Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag.
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 leading 2-1 before Honor Gallagher received a second yellow card. Enzo Fernandez’s penalty in the second half allowed Chelsea to get all three points. The win moved Pochettino’s side up to 10th place with a good 5-4-5 for 19 points. They are also 3-1-1 in their last five matches in all competitions. The guests in the new core have better results on away pitches than when they play at Stamford Bridge. Carney Chukwuemeka plays fantastically and creates a lot of problems for the opponent’s defense. Many clubs are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. Enzo Fernandez is one of the best midfielders in the world, all praise for him. After being suspended for the weekend win against Brighton, Reece James and Marc Cucurella are available again, but Conor Gallagher is suspended following his dismissal. Pochettino also has several players missing with Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Ben Chilwell still sidelined.
Conclusion
A tough match is expected, there will be a lot of tactical outwitting from both coaches, the realistic prediction for this match is a draw.
We can expect a big fight between these two teams, and both of them should be able to score. One thing is for sure – football fans should enjoy this game.
