Manchester Utd vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips (3 November)

Having had a very worrying start to the season, Manchester United are now only 13th in the Premier League. The Red Devils have real ambitions but have already conceded 7 units of spending on the Big 4. After having played 3 matches without success, they barely beat Brentford at home 2-1. Unfortunately, the Mancunian team fell back last weekend by losing to West Ham 2-1. This new poor performance sounded the death knell for coach Erik ten Hag who has just been replaced by the Portuguese Ruben Amorim. With interim Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will officiate on the bench until the arrival of Ruben Amorim during the next international break, United inflicted a correction on Leicester in the League Cup this week 5-2.

Not at the level expected during of previous years, Chelsea intends to play the leading roles again this season. The debut of coach Enzo Maresca is proving positive since the London team is currently 6th in the Premier League and is only one point behind 4th place. Since the start of the championship, the Blues have only lost to two big names: Manchester City and Liverpool. Narrowly beaten in Liverpool's lair just after the October international break 2-1, they resumed their march forward by taking over Newcastle last weekend 2-1. This week, Chelsea lost to Newcastle in the League Cup round of 16 2-0.

Several elements are missing from Manchester United this weekend. This is the case of executives Shaw and Mainoo, defenders Maguire and Yoro as well as the disappointing winger Antony. Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding the participation of full-back Malacia and midfielder Mount.

The Red Devils are struggling offensively (only 8 goals scored after 9 days). Scorers this week in the League Cup, Bruno Fernandes and Garnacho should start.
