Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction: More Blues for the hosts?

Chelsea's chances of securing Uefa Champions League football next season are slimming. The Blues have suffered three consecutive defeats in the Premier League ahead of their clash with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (20:00 BST, TNT Sports 1), leaving them sixth in the table.

United were handed a surprise defeat at home against Leeds United last time out, so they will seek a response in west London. Read on for my Chelsea vs Manchester United predictions, aided by the latest team news and match odds from Betfred.

Team News

Levi Colwill (knee), Trevoh Chalobah (ankle), Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (thigh), Filip Jorgensen (groin) and Mykhailo Mudryk (ban) are all unavailable for Chelsea.

Reece James (hamstring) and Benoit Badiashile (illness) will need to be monitored ahead of the weekend.

Enzo Fernandez is set to return following a club suspension for comments he made surrounding his future.

Premier League Odds

Man United defenders Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire are absent due to suspension.

Matthijs de Ligt continues to recover from a back injury, so Ayden Heaven may partner Leny Yoro in the heart of the back line on Saturday.

Chelsea vs Manchester United Odds

Chelsea are 5/4 to snap their losing streak in the Premier League.

Manchester United are looking to complete their first league double over the Blues since the 2019/20 season, and they are 2/1 to come away with the three points.

The stalemate is on offer at 11/4, and this was the outcome in United's most recent away trip against AFC Bournemouth.

Chelsea have blanked in each of their last three outings in the top flight, and BTTS - No is marketed at 6/4 (implied probability of 40%) for Saturday.

Today's Football Fixtures

Draw No Bet - Manchester United @ 11/10

United may have lost at home on Monday, but they should be looking to capitalise on Chelsea being in worse form. The Blues have lost three in a row, failing to score in that time, too.

However, the visitors have just one away win from their previous four matches, and this particular league fixture has seen plenty of draws in recent years - six of the previous 11 to be exact.

United are in a better position than Chelsea coming into this clash, but the Blues are in need of a response if they wish to be a Champions League club next term. Of the two, United have the stronger credentials to win (three victories from six in the top flight), but the history of draws has made me opt for the insurance.

Total Goals - Over 2.5 @ 8/15

This seems like a game in which Chelsea can at least end their goal drought. They have scored in each of their past nine meetings with United and Over 2.5 Goals has been a successful bet in four of them.

I think we will see a few fly in on Saturday and this selection has struck in each of the Red Devils' last five matches in the Premier League. There have also been at least three goals scored in Chelsea's two most recent fixtures in this competition.
