Man United vs Chelsea Premier League Sunday 16 April, 17:00 (CET) Old Trafford
Chelsea are edging close to the Premier League title but with Tottenham Hotspur refusing to give up in the title race, the Blues must continue to pick up points towards the end of the season.
One of Chelsea’s most difficult remaining fixtures is their trip to Old Trafford, to face Manchester United. Antonio Conte will believe if they can leave Manchester with maximum points from this game, the Premier League trophy will be heading to Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United are team who refuse to be beaten, as their late goal in their previous home match against Everton highlights. However, the Red Devils are struggling to win games, especially at Old Trafford. The problem has haunted Manchester United throughout the season and is the main reason why they are out of the title race and battling for a top four place.
Chelsea have enjoyed a great first season under Conte and despite having lost more games than Manchester United prior to their trip to Bournemouth, it’s the number of games won by Chelsea which has made the difference. Chelsea will be confident of picking up maximum points at Old Trafford.
Despite being top of the table and on course for the Premier League title, Chelsea are not the bookmakers favourite for this match. While the bookies have struggled to separate the two teams, its Manchester United who come in as slight favourites, priced at 2.80 with bet365.
This is somewhat surprising considering the form of the two teams and the result in the reverse fixture this season, which Chelsea won comfortably 4-0. The Blues can be backed at 2.90 with bet365 to defeat Manchester United.
The draw is also on offer at 3.10 and perhaps provides the best value in the full-time result market.
Chelsea have defeated Manchester United twice this season, once in the Premier League and once in the FA Cup. Both matches were at Stamford Bridge and the second game saw Jose Mourinho adopt more defence minded strategy, something which he is likely to employ in this game. Manchester United have failed to defeat Chelsea in their previous twelves attempts and if they are to get something from this game, it is likely to be a low scoring draw. The 0-0 can be backed at 8.00 with bet365.
Manchester United have struggled in front of their own fans this season and they unlikely to come out and play a free flowing, attacking game of football. Therefore, if Chelsea are to continue their dominance in this fixture, is will come via a narrow victory. Chelsea to winby a one goal margin is available at 4.33 with bet365.
Manchester United will hope Paul Pogba is fully fit for this match and Wayne Rooney should also be available for selection. Chris Smalling has an outside chance of making it but Juan Mata is unlikely to recover in time. Chelsea will be hoping to have Victor Moses back in contention for this game having suffered from a calf injury and should be at full strength.
