Chelsea and Manchester United meet often enough to be a fixture fans remember, but in the last five meetings Manchester United have picked up as many as three wins and recently came away with a 0-1 victory at Stamford Bridge in April. This time the picture is clearly reversed, because Chelsea are plainly in the better moment. Chelsea have won two of their last five and their attack can still be trusted, but there are still gaps in defence showing from time to time. Manchester United, meanwhile, have not won in 5 straight games and have just lost 0-3 in their latest league match. A defence that has conceded 13 goals in 8 games is a number that says the back line is not settled. If Chelsea can press from the start as planned, the game should flow the home side's way, but Manchester United have enough quality to sit deep and counter, keeping the hosts on their guard, especially in the second half when games tend to open up.
