Chelsea welcome a struggling Manchester United team to Stamford Bridge with both sides looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League. Chelsea are favourites at 1.70 with bet365, with United available at 4.50. The draw can be backed at 3.90.
We think Chelsea will have far too strong for this Manchester United team that is under a cloud following a terrible start to the new season. They are capable of scoring plenty of goals at home, especially if Joao Pedro is back fit to lead the attack. Backing them to win with a -1 handicap is an appealing bet.
Reasons to Follow this Bet
Chelsea have an excellent home goalscoring record this season with 11.
Only Brighton have scored more goals at home than Chelsea in the Premier League this campaign.
Manchester United have not won away from home this season.
Chelsea vs Man United - Team News
Chelsea will be without goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez after he broke his jaw in a collision during the Everton game. Mike Penders will continue in goal. Cole Palmer's suspension will have been served during the league cup game against Liverpool meaning he is free to feature here. Joao Pedro picked up an ankle injury in training but could be back after sitting out the mid-week cup clash.
United are still without injured trio Kobee Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Partick Dorgu. It is also unlikely striker Benjamin Sesko will feature due to a shin problem, meaning Matheus Cunha or Brian Mbeumo could lead the line. Skipper Bruno Fernandes was dropped for the Bournemouth defeat but could return.
Chelsea vs Man United Line-ups
Chelsea: Penders - Acheampong, Lacroix, Colwill - Neto, Henderson, Caicedo, Hato - Palmer, Rogers - Joao Pedro.
Man United: Lammens - Dalot, de Ligt, Maguire, Mazraoui - Baleba, Santos - Diallo, Mount, Cunha - Mbeumo.
