Match Preview
A fascinating clash at Old Trafford is set for Sunday. There will be pressure on Man United, as the Red Devils could kick off this weekend sitting in 16th place. United come into the round after losing two of their last four in the league, while they have won just three times in nine outings this term.
Things are looking up for Chelsea at this stage, as a push for a Champions League finish looks to be on the cards. The Blues have won three of their last five, and they have suffered just two defeats in nine at the start of the season.
United’s home record against the Blues deserves special attention this week, as the Red Devils are unbeaten in their last eleven matches against Chelsea at Old Trafford. United could win three home matches on the bounce against the Blues for the first time since January 1957.

Chelsea claimed a dramatic win against the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge in March. However, the Blues haven’t won successive matches against the Red Devils since March 2011. In fact, Man United vs. Chelsea is the most drawn match in Premier League history, with 26 of the last 64 ending level.
Huge pressure will be on United this weekend, as they have made their second-worst start to a Premier League season. The Red Devils have picked up just eleven points, and they have lost four of their opening nine in each of the last two seasons.
Chelsea are certainly building on youth, as the Blues have named the youngest average starting eleven in the competition this season. In fact, the Blues became the second team in Premier League history to not name a player aged older than 25 in a starting eleven against Newcastle.
Man United vs. Chelsea Picks
Man United’s inconsistency make them a dangerous play this weekend. However, there was a much-improved display against Leicester in midweek. But, the defensive issues remain evident, meaning that a draw could be the standout play.
