Manchester Utd hosts Chelsea in round 36 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, April 28th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Regular visitors continue to rejoice after the club bosses dismissed Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese expert failed to bring the Red Devils out of the crisis. Moreover, under his management, not only the results noticeably worsened, but the team game became very pale. There are enough excellent performers in the Red Devils squad, but even the individual skill did not help them flawlessly build positional attacks. The Norwegian Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer, whom the management considered only as a temporary coach, replaced Jose.

For a long time, the bosses did not remove the prefix “vice” of Ole’s post, but his decent work made him a full-fledged head coach of Manchester United. Surely, the fans would not understand another scenario, because Solskjaer became the best crisis manager in the history of the Premier League - he won 8 starting matches. Manchester United, which lagged significantly behind the leaders, has risen and is now fighting for the place in the Champions League. Now the Red Devils are fighting with three London clubs (Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal) for two places in the Champions League zone. The Red Devils were pleasantly surprised a few weeks ago, when, in the framework of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, they managed to win back in Paris after a 0: 2 home defeat. In France, the Red Devils scratched out the victory with a score of 3: 1, thanks to a goal in added time. Solskajer managed to unite and discipline players; he makes wing backs to actively connect to the attacks in matches against strong opponents, and Pogba began to play much higher, which had a positive impact on his scoring.
Sarri’s team continues playing in the Europa League, where they are already quite close to winning the trophy. Surely, the Europa League is not the tournament where the Pensioners would like to become the winner in the first place, however, they will also fight for it. At the moment, they have a serious struggle for the Champions League zone, so the upcoming battle against Manchester United is one of the key matches. When Sarri came to the coaching bridge of the London club, he immediately, without hiding it, tried to build the system of the game, which he managed to form in Naples. Chelsea has enough qualified football players, however, the players in the central zone Barkley, Kovacic and Kante cannot yet fully reach the level at which their partner Eden Hazard plays. To some extent, the Belgian is worse than the others working for the defense, but in this component, with Sarri, his effectiveness began to increase. At the same time, Hazard, due to his ideal dribbling, is the most useful player in the Premier League, given only attacking actions. He is the best in the team in goals and assists, and due to his strong technical side, he is able to outplay any opponent in a small patch.
In the current season, opponents have twice played with each other. In the first round of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, there was a scoring draw (2: 2). By the way, the Pensioners miraculously saved only at the 6th added minute. The second match was played within the framework of the League Cup - it ended with the away victory of the Red Devils (2: 0). Before this fight, the visitors could not win in the confrontation for 13 matches.
Sarris team will come to Old Trafford to play a lower profile. At the same time, the Red Devils also play unconvincingly in their current condition, so we will not see many goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5. goals scored
