Manchester United is on the 8th line in the Premier League standings with 17 points. After 12 rounds, the Mancunians have five victories, two draws, and five losses. The Red Devils completed the autumn segment of the championship with a reshuffle in the coaching staff. After a thumping against Watford (1-4), the bosses of Man United parted ways with head coach Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer. The club's management is looking for a new status candidate for this position, and Solskjaer's assistant, Michael Carrick, was appointed interim. Last Tuesday, the Red Devils played the 1st match without Solskjaer and defeated Spanish Villarreal in a difficult away match in the Champions League group stage (0-2). That success guaranteed Manchester United early promotion to the playoffs of the tournament from 1st place.
For Chelsea, the games against Manchester United in London have been challenging in recent years. The Pensioners had no victories in five home games in the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the League Cup, and this unsuccessful streak has been going on since May 2018. In the previous Premier League draw, the Blues and the Red Devils played two matches, and both of them ended with a score of 0-0. Now Chelsea is likely to score three points at home. Tuchel's team is in excellent shape, and only the current titleholders from Manchester City managed to beat the Blues on their pitch. The Pensioners are very strong in the attack: they scored 30 goals in 12 rounds. And their defense is the best in the league – only four goals conceded. Manchester United has dealt with Villarreal this week, but Cristiano Ronaldo and company will face a tough match in London due to staffing issues. And this could negate Manchester United's chances of earning points at Stamford Bridge.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win and Over 1.5 goals scored
