Manchester United hosts Chelsea on Sunday afternoon. This clash once decided the Premiership title, yet these clubs aren’t in trophy talks anymore. United recently sacked Erik Ten Hag and is entering a new era. Chelsea plays solid football, though still shows some oscillations. Stay tuned for some Premier League betting picks.
Manchester United Preview
What United did under Erik Ten Hag could be described as mediocre. Yet, on the other side, a huge amount of money was spent. Ruben Amorim will soon land at Old Trafford (he won’t lead the Red Devils in this event), and the fans hope to see improvement under the new manager.
The Manchester team has won only three of the recent nine matches, a disastrous record for a club of its reputation and status. Overall, this is their second-worst start to the Premiership since its establishment.
Chelsea Preview
Chelsea plays very interesting and efficient football. Sometimes, they allow goals solely because they want to score even more, despite the current result being on their side. The last time their defense kept a clean sheet was back in late September, and after that, we saw Chelsea concede in seven straight matches.
The Blues’ overall road record is three wins and four losses, which isn’t that great. The most recent happened this Wednesday against Newcastle in the EFL Cup, 2-0.

Manchester United vs. Chelsea Predictions
Both teams have problems with defense, as we already explained in the previous part of the text. Chelsea is shaky on the road yet still scores goals, while United’s form is inconsistent throughout the season. This forces us to bet on both teams netting, which is the best possible football betting pick in the current circumstances. Respective attacks are much better than defenses, and that’s the final reason why to go with this suggestion.
