Chelsea vs Manchester United Predictions

• Chelsea have lost five of their last six games.
• Manchester United have only lost one away game since Michael Carrick took charge.
• Casemiro has scored in three of his last four appearances for the Red Devils.

Champions League battle hots up

Seven points separate Chelsea and Manchester United as both sides vie for a top-five spot in the Premier League, and the Red Devils could take a step closer to Champions League qualification at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Michael Carrick’s side lost 2-1 at home to Leeds on Monday, but their performances since the former England midfielder took the reins have been a world apart from their early season struggles, and they come up against a Blues outfit in turmoil.

Blues struggle to break poor form

Saturday’s hosts may have thumped Port Vale to keep their hopes of silverware alive a couple of weeks ago, but they have lost five of their last six games and have only won one of their last six at home.

This run includes losses to Manchester City, PSG, and Newcastle, with Liam Rosenior’s men failing to score in each of these home losses.

Casemiro can continue purple patch

Manchester United have lost just one of their five away games since Carrick’s arrival, including wins over Arsenal and Everton, so they look good value to upset the odds at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have conceded three or more goals in four of their last six games and have failed to score in four of these games, but Manchester United have only scored more than two goals in one of their last eight, so a 2-0 correct score prediction has a chance.

Anytime goalscorer punters may look to Casemiro, who scored Manchester United’s only goal of the game against Leeds to take his tally to eight Premier League goals for the season. The veteran midfielder has scored in three of his last four appearances for the Red Devils and looks a high-value pick to find the net.
