CHELSEA V MANCHESTER UNTIED PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Manchester United are second in the EPL with 7 wins and two losses from 9 matches.  They are just one point behind Chelsea after their controversial away win at Stanford Bridge in the EPL.  They have won their last 5 matches in all competitions and their last 8 matches in a row have been over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea still tops the EPL table with 22 points from 8 matches.  They lost their first match of the season last week however when Manchester United won a controversial game 3-2 thanks to an offside goal after Chelsea had two men sent off.  They are still in a prime position to challenge for the title and it looks to be a 3 horse race between them and the Manchester clubs.  They had won 4 in a row before the defeat and 4 of their last 5 matches have been over 2.5 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

The big story in this match is the fallout from the weekend EPL match between the sides where Manchester United recorded a controversial victory.  The referee for this match will hope to have a quieter game than his co-worker in the league match and will hope this match is being talked about for the football rather than the referee.

Both teams will make changes to their sides and I would expect some younger players and players needing match practice will step in.  Neither team takes this competition too seriously and with important league games at the weekend they will be the focus. 

CHELSEA V MANCHESTER UNTIED PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

I believe Chelsea at home will be the favourites for this match and the disappointment of last week will spur them on more.  They also have the easiest weekend fixture ahead so may be more focussed on this match rather than looking ahead.

I think the 2.38 available with Paddy Power is an excellent price for the home side and make it a definite bet.

If you don’t feel confident of backing Chelsea to win outright then you can use the AH to back them ‘draw no bet’.  This means if the match ends in a draw you will receive your stake back.

Paddy Power are again top price for Chelsea +0 at 1.67, so back them there!

CHELSEA - MANCHESTER UNTIED PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

WE have certainly seen plenty of goals when these teams take the field this season. Chelsea have had an average of 4.6 goals in their past 5 matches with United averaging 4.4 in their last 5.  And all 10 have been over 2.5 goals individually.

I’ll be sticking with the recent history and going to Stan James to back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.67.
