Manchester United come into this game in poor form, having lost 11 of their past 15 Premier League matches. Although Chelsea haven’t been at their best this season, they have still managed to win eight of their last 11 games at this level.
United’s recent home games have consistently been high-scoring affairs, with at least two goals in 10 of their last 11 matches. Chelsea’s away games have followed suit, with over 2.5 goals in 13 of their last 14 outings, suggesting a lively encounter ahead.
Both sides have found the net in 13 of United’s last 16 home league games, including each of the last five, with only one clean sheet for United during this period.
Chelsea’s recent away form shows a similar trend, with both teams scoring in eight of their last 12 away matches and only one clean sheet in their last 13 games on the road.
With United’s last 18 home league games all producing goals and Chelsea’s recent away matches also delivering at least two goals each time, we’re likely to see plenty of action.
Prediction: Manchester United 1 : 3 Chelsea
