Chelsea vs Man Utd predictions

Fifth from top face fifth from bottom when Chelsea and Manchester United meet at Stamford Bridge on Friday. 

The Matchday 37 fixture carries far more significance for Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea team, with Champions League qualification on the line. 

Recent reports suggest that Maresca’s job is safe for next season whether the Blues make the Champions League or not. But as we’ve seen before, things can change quickly in west London.

Chelsea’s recent Premier League form has been strong. Enzo Maresca’s team have three wins in their last four matches. 

They secured a 3-1 victory over Liverpool on Matchday 35, but that good work was partially undone in last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle. 

Despite the setback, the Blues sit fifth in the league, level on points with Aston Villa, who are also in action on Friday night, against Spurs. 

Both Chelsea and Villa sit on 63 points, but crucially, the Blues have a superior goal difference by 12 – effectively worth an extra point at this stage of the season.

As for the Red Devils, they are looking at a potential fourth or fifth from bottom finish. Ruben Amorin’s team have just 39 points from their 36 matches. 

United’s recent league form has been nothing short of abysmal. They are now seven matches without a victory, losing five and drawing two. The Red Devils have also only won one of their last nine.

Their form in Europe is in direct contrast. It has recused a horror show of a season under Amorim. 

Although the Portuguese only picked up the reins in November, there has been no progress in the league and little sign of things changing. It has arguably been worse than it was under Erik ten Hag.

This could be partly down to complacency, with the Europa League continually used as an excuse. But, win or lose on Wednesday, the run to the final of Europe’s second tier trophy can only paper over the cracks at Old Trafford for so long.

Chelsea vs Manchester United betting tips

Chelsea need to bounce back from their disastrous result at Newcastle, and a home game against an under-par United – who have one eye on their upcoming fixture – looks like the perfect opportunity for Enzo Maresca’s side to get back on track with three points. Our match betting tips follow:

Chelsea to win and under 3.5 goals

It’s staggering to see Chelsea at just 4/11 to beat Manchester United. 

But given Chelsea’s recent good form at the Bridge, along with United’s woeful results of late, the odds are a fair reflection.

We are not backing the Blues to win at 4/11, it is too short. Instead we are combining a home win with under 3.5 goals.

United have scored just five goals in their last seven matches. Bizarrely, three of them came away at Brentford. 

We can’t see the Red Devils troubling Chelsea in this match and see a comfortable home win.

Back Chelsea to win and under 3.5 goals at 6/4 with bet365

Enzo Fernandez to score or assist

Despite reports that he is eyeing a move away, Enzo Fernández is finishing the season strongly at Chelsea.

Maybe this is because the best way to attract potential suitors is through performances on the pitch – which is exactly what Fernández is doing. 

He has two assists and a goal in his last four Premier League outings, including a goal and an assist in his last two at Stamford Bridge.

Back Enzo Fernandez to score or assist at 27/20 with Tote

Cole Palmer to score anytime

Cole Palmer snapped his goalless run with a stoppage time penalty in Chelsea’s recent 3-1 win over Liverpool. 

The England man didn’t get much of a chance to continue his run last week as his team had to change their shape in the first half after Nicolas Jackson’s ridiculous red card at St. James’ Park on Sunday.

Against an under strength and struggling United side, expect Palmer to be back in his preferred role. 

And given Chelsea’s impressive home form of late, the former City midfielder looks good to find the back of the net against his former cross town rivals.
