Prediction
It is a good time for the teams to meet as both are struggling for consistency and form meaning there will be chances created at either end. Manchester United’s forward line aren’t firing but they tend to draw inspiration from the Old Trafford crowd and should score against the Blues. Chelsea will be hoping the experience of Raheem Sterling comes into play and if he can link up the rest of the forward line they should get a few good shots in at Andre Onana.
Manchester United 2-2 Chelsea.
