Following on from tasting defeat last time out to West Ham United in Premier League action, Manchester United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

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.

Analysis of their past results shows that Manchester United:

• 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.
• are without a win away from home in their last 4 league matches.

📋 Team News: Chelsea

Aarón Anselmino (Hamstring injury), Christopher Nkunku (unknown injury), Omari Kellyman (surgery), David Datro Fofana (Knee injury) and Wesley Fofana (surgery) won’t be able to feature for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

We are thinking that The Blues will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Moisés Caicedo, Roméo Lavia, Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández, Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto.

📋 Team News: Manchester United

Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has multiple availability issues to deal with. Diogo Dalot (Calf injury), Toby Collyer (Leg injury), Ayden Heaven (Foot injury), Matthijs de Ligt (Knee injury), Joshua Zirkzee (Thigh problems) and Lisandro Martínez (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that The Red Devils might elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation with a starting lineup of Andre Onana, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Noussair Mazraoui, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Patrick Dorgu, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund.

⚡ Prediction

It looks to us like Manchester United will be up against it to find the back of the net against a Chelsea lineup who have the quality to control most aspects of this game.

We are anticipating a 3-0 winning margin for Chelsea at the end of this one.
