Manchester United Team News
In the last round of the Premier League, the players of Manchester United beat Bournemouth away from home 0:1. They took the lead already in the ninth minute, with a goal by Casemiro, after which the home team failed to equalize the score. According to all statistical parameters, the visitors were the better rival and deservedly celebrated.
In the league, they currently occupy the fourth position in the table with 69 points won, three more than the fifth-placed Liverpool, and to save this place, they need only one point in the remaining two rounds. After the match with Chelsea, they will meet Fulham in the last round, while in the final of the FA Cup, they will compete against their city rival, Manchester City. In the previous five league matches, they registered three wins and two losses.
Coach Eric ten Haag has big problems with injured players, and out of the protocol for the next game are Lisandro Martinez, Tom Heaton, Donny van de Beek, Marcel Sabitzer, and Phil Jones, while Marcus Rashford is questionable, but there seems to be an available chance. All the other players are ready to welcome the duel with Chelsea.
The Dutch expert will likely field the strongest team for this game, and if he wins that one necessary point, he will rest his players in the next game against Fulham. This would mean that if Rashford is ready, his place will be given to Anthony Martial, while there should be no other changes in the starting 11 compared to the previous match.
Chelsea Team News
In the previous Premier League match, Chelsea lost to Manchester City’s reserve team away from home, with a score of 1:0. Although the coach of the home team included as many as nine reserve players in the starting 11, they managed to triumph and by all statistical parameters were a better rival than Chelsea. They took the lead in the 12th minute, after which the guests failed to return to the match.
At the moment, they occupy only the 12th position in the table with 43 points won and have long since lost all chances to be on the European stage in the next season. In the previous twelve games in all competitions, they registered only one victory, with three draws and as many as eight defeats. In the last round, they will play against Newcastle at home.
The last in the line of injured players is Benoit Badiashile, who suffered a groin injury and is expected to have a longer break. He will join Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja, N’Golo Kante, Marco Cucurelli, Marcus Bettinelli, and Reece James in the stands, all of whom will be sidelined. Also, Mateo Kovacic is a question mark, but it is believed that he should be available to coach Frank Lampard, like all the other players.
It is expected that the same starting line-up will take the field as in the previous match against Manchester City, but it remains to be seen.
Manchester United vs Chelsea H2H
The previous five duels between these teams ended in a draw. On two occasions, the result was 0:0, and the last three times, the matches ended with 1:1.
Expected Lineups
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford
Chelsea (3-4-1-2): Kepa; Chalobah, Silva, Fofana; Azpilicueta, Fernandez, Loftus-Cheek, Hall; Gallagher; Havertz, Sterling
Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction
A draw in this match is enough for Manchester United to ensure participation in the Champions League next season. On the other hand, Chelsea has lost all chances to compete on the European stage, so this game has no result significance for them. Therefore, we believe that the home team will enter the match a little more relieved and victory will not be their priority. Also, we believe that the game will be a little more closed, with few goals, so our tip for this match is a Manchester United win or a draw, with less than 3.5 goals in the entire match.
