Since suffering a loss in their previous game against West Ham United in Premier League action, Manchester United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The stats tell the story, and Manchester United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in total. Defensively, Manchester United can certainly do much better. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend shall continue on in this next game.

• have not registered a win against Chelsea when having played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
