Video Man Utd 4-1 Chelsea 

Our first Man Utd vs Chelsea prediction is for a home win and a clean sheet. Man Utd have won three of their last five league games and each of those victories have been accompanied by clean sheets. Chelsea have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions and have failed to score in three of those defeats, so you can see why we’re backing a Man Utd win-to-nil on Wednesday night.

Our second Man Utd vs Chelsea prediction regards the total goals scored by both teams. We’re not expecting many goals in this game as each of the last five league meetings between Man Utd and Chelsea have produced under 2.5 goals. Man Utd have seen their last five matches in league and cup produce under 2.5 goals, while three of Chelsea’s last six outings have also witnessed fewer than three goals scored.

Man Utd vs Chelsea Lineups and Last Match

Man Utd

Man Utd took another step closer to Champions League football at the weekend when they ran out 1-0 winners at Bournemouth. Casemiro scored the only goal of the game in the 9th-minute and that victory coupled with Liverpool’s draw means that a point against Chelsea will be enough to claim a top-four finish this season. Martinez, van de Beek, Sabitzer, Heaton, Rashford and Jones are all doubts for the midweek clash with Chelsea due to injury.

Predicted Lineup: De Gea (GK), Lindelöf, Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes, Martial, Sancho & Antony 

Chelsea

Chelsea formed a guard of honour at the Etihad as they welcomes the Premier League champions Man City onto the pitch at the weekend. Chelsea played a strong side against a weakened City eleven but an early goal for the hosts proved to be enough to defeat the Londoners who are now set for their worst Premier League finish since the mid-90s. Broja, James, Badiashile, Kante, Mount, Cucurella, Chilwell, Kovacic and Bettinelli are all injury concerns for the visitors ahead of their trip to Old Trafford.

Predicted Lineup: Kepa (GK), Silva, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Havertz, Gallagher, Fernández, Hall & Sterling
