Manchester United vs Chelsea prediction
Lifelong rivals, Manchester United and Chelsea will be locking horns at Old Trafford, the home of the Red Devils, this Sunday in the 10th round of the English Premier League.
This week has indeed been a busy one for Manchester United as the club went through a major managerial change following the sacking of Dutch tactician, Erik Ten Hag on Monday afternoon, a move instigated by a 2-1 loss away to West Ham. Erik’s assistant his fellow countryman, Ruud van Nistelrooy was then named the interim manager and he instantly showed his class with United’s 5-star performance against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup earning a place in the Quarter-Finals.
Moving on, Chelsea couldn’t do the double over Newcastle despite beating them in the Premier League days ago. Their loss at Saint James’ Park confirms their exit from the domestic Cup competition and their second away loss in 3 games.
The rivalry between these two goes beyond individual team form because anytime they meet they go tit-for-tat regardless of their present state of form, which in turn serves us to that euphoric feeling of being a fan of either of the clubs. That being said, the never-say-never attitude of both teams is a big leverage for us to go for the BTTS option as Our main Manchester United vs Chelsea prediction and we recommend the Both Teams To Score market.
