Manchester United host Chelsea at Old Trafford in a blockbuster Premier League encounter.
Should Tottenham lose in the early kick-off, victory would see Man Utd go tenth in the table.
If Villa fail to win at Spurs, Chelsea can go third with a win.

Stat Attack
- Man Utd have lost one of their last eight meetings against Chelsea (W2, D5, L1).
- Chelsea are winless in their last 11 league visits to Man Utd at Old Trafford (D6, L5).
- Both Man Utd and Chelsea have scored in each of their last six meetings, with Utd scoring 12 goals to Chelsea’s nine.
- No Man Utd player has created more through balls this season than Marcus Rashford.
- Three of Chelsea’s last four away goals in the league were scored by Nicolas Jackson.
Prediction
Having gone full-strength against Leicester with a ruthless display following Erik Ten Hag’s sacking, Man Utd now need to continue in that vein if they’re to show their potential and get a result here.
Chelsea meanwhile were just wasteful at Newcastle amidst wholesale changes but with players like Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer set to return, I do expect a more sharper attacking display as saw at home to the Magpies last weekend.
Enzo Maresca’s Blues though can’t underestimate a re-energised Utd attack but if they can defend well and target the Red Devils’ vulnerable defence, they might just nick a win despite their recent woes at Old Trafford.
Prediction: Man Utd 1-2 Chelsea
