Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting tips
After the international break is the ninth game day of the Premier League in England. At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will welcome Manchester United.
While the blues are all about keeping up with the likes of Machester City and Liverpool FC, the Red Devils have to retreat from their formality to take another step towards European places.
Chelsea:
The blues are unbeaten this season. With a goal balance of 18: 5 are 20 points to book, synonymous with second place. The “Skyblues” and the “Reds” complete the 20 point trio. But Arsenal London and Tottenham Hotspurs are again in striking distance with 18 points. The English championship is as exciting as never before after the eighth matchday.
Maurizio Sarri has a pretty well-rehearsed team. He is not a big fan of the rotation. The Europa League games except, he has found his right axis around the top scorer of the Premier League Eden Hazard. Thus, we also suspect that he will send Manchester United a fairly predictable eleven on the court. Only the Welshman Ethan Ampadu pulled a knee injury in the game against Spain and is definitely not Sarri available. Behind Antonio RĂ¼diger is still a small question mark.
Of course, what speaks for the blues in this top game is clearly the performance of recent games. In all eight league games they could not be defeated. But even in direct comparison speaks a lot for the Sarri-Elf. Chelsea did not receive a single goal at Stamford Bridge against Manchester United in their last four games. But even more meaningful: Chelsea have won seven of their last eight home games against Manchester United!
Manchester United:
For weeks it is seething with the Reds. The results are not right and Jose Mourinho takes a confusing interview to the next one. After four winless games in series (Wolverhampton, Derby County, West Ham United, Valencia CF) followed on the last day of a small sensation. Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 2-0 in Old Trafford until the 70th minute before Mata, Martial and Sanchez turned the game to 3-2. Whether this triggers a boost in motivation and the intact morality proves or just proves that you even against the table penultimate with 0: 2 fall behind, we will experience on Saturday afternoon.
Jose Mourinho has to renounce some players especially in midfield in the match against second-placed teams. The missions of Scott McTomay, Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic are all questionable. The use of Luke Shaw and Marouane Fellaini is not quite sure, but more likely. Definitely missing are Marcos Rojo and Jesse Lingard.
Manchester United can not lose this game under any circumstances. A total of seven points is already the distance to the top of the table and the pressure is enormous. That the Red Devils have not been able to win a game at Stamford Bridge since 2012 is unlikely to fuel morale.
