Chelsea vs Manchester United Predictions
Chelsea Current Run of Form
The Blues remain undefeated under Graham Potter with two draws and five wins to their name since the Englishman was appointed. A 0-0 draw with Brentford in midweek took the wind out of their sails somewhat but things are still looking up at Chelsea.
Among the reasons to be optimistic is Carney Chukwuemeka showing a lot of promise. Vision 2030 may come to fruition quicker than some expected if he can break through this season.

Manchester United Run of Form
After something of a slow start, the Red Devils have looked strong under Erik ten Hag. A 6-3 Manchester derby loss is a noticeable blemish on their record but the club hasn’t lost a game since then.
While they have made slip-ups, they have been very good against top sides this campaign with wins over Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur to their credit.

Recent Head to Head
Chelsea has not beaten their opposition the last nine times the teams have played in the league, the two sides have drawn six times with The Blues losing three times in that period. In fact, this pairing of teams is known to end matches level with the past four clashes between the two ending in a draw.
Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction
History indicates that Graham Potter is in for a tough time with this one. While his side has beaten Manchester United in FA Cup action, you’d have to go back to 2017 for their last league win over their rivals. There is a chance that the two teams play out their fifth draw in a row but with Ten Hag’s men flying high recently they could come away with the win here. The exclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo from the squad has also been confirmed by the United manager, and it remains to be seen how much this has affected the squad’s preparation for the game.
