Command Analysis
Manchester United
EnglandCurrent form
Immediately after the defeat in the previous round of the Premier League from West Ham (1:2), the resignation of Erik ten Hag and the appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach of Manchester United were announced. There were even expectations that the Sporting coach would already be with MU in the cup game with Leicester. However, until he takes up his duties, organizational issues are being resolved. The Red Devils are led by the former famous player of the team Ruud Van Nistelrooy. With him, Manchester United defeated the Foxes with a score of 5:2 and made it to the quarterfinals.
In the Premier League, the Mancunians are not doing well - only 11 points scored in nine rounds. Taking into account the powerful selection of names in the attack, eight goals scored look very weak - this is less than one goal on average per match. In the last rounds, under the leadership of Erik ten Hag, the "Red Devils" did not show any stable results. One could see both a good victory over Brentford (2:1), and an unconvincing draw with Crystal Palace (0:0).
It should be noted that Manchester United is not performing well in the Europa League either. In three rounds played in this tournament, they managed to score three points – all matches ended in a draw. In general, in five of the ten previous matches in all tournaments, the team ended in a draw with their opponents.

Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Chelsea this season under the leadership of Enzo Maresca have immediately made their claim to the fight for a place in the top four and so far everything is going very well for the Londoners, at least in comparison with previous seasons. The "aristocrats" have 17 points, and the gap from fourth-placed Arsenal is only one point.
https://www.chelseafc.com/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Chelsea have lost points twice in the last three rounds. First, they drew with Nottingham Forest (1:1), and then lost to Liverpool (1:2). However, there is no reason to talk about a serious decline, since in the ninth round, they won 2:1 against Newcastle. Interestingly, the Magpies took revenge in the League Cup (2:0) a few days later, and Eddie Howe used almost the entire main squad in that match, while Enzo Maresca tested the reserves in action.
In addition to the Premier League, Chelsea successfully performs in the Conference League. In this tournament, the "aristocrats" in turn beat Gent (4:2) and Panathinaikos (4:1) with class and are among the leaders after two rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Kellyman and Sancho will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chelsea have suffered just one defeat in their last eight Premier League matches (five wins and two draws)
- In six of the last eight games of the "aristocrats" in the championship, both teams scored goals
- Chelsea have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches in all competitions
Probable line-up : Sanchez - James, Fofana, Colville, Gusto - Caicedo, Lavia - Madueke, Palmer, Neto - Jackson.

1.72Tip and bets
Manchester United players, on a decent emotional high after the change of coach, dealt with Leicester in the League Cup. However, we would not overestimate that victory too much, after all, today is a much more serious opponent. Enzo Maresca was clearly betting on the upcoming Premier League match when he did not use the main team in the cup game with Newcastle. Plus, the Londoners have been more convincing than the Mancunians this season, they are more organized on the field, and do not allow themselves to make any obvious failures. We cannot ignore the Red Devils' weak attack in the championship. Bookmakers expect at least four goals in this meeting, but at the same time, in the last eight head-to-head confrontations, only twice did they manage to overcome this mark in total. Perhaps, this is the indicator that is overestimated in the line.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.83
Bet on the outcome
Manchester United have the home field factor on their side. Chelsea have been more successful this season. Overall, the chances of winning are equal here and now. It is no coincidence that in five of the last eight head-to-head matches, the Red Devils and the Aristocrats ended in a draw, which we do not rule out today.
The second bet is a draw with odds of 3.90
Bet on corners
It is worth noting that Manchester United have not taken more than six corners in 11 of their last 13 home Premier League encounters, so we recommend another betting option.
Prediction – Total corners for Manchester United under 6.5 with odds of 1.50
