Man United have won their last 2 home games against Chelsea.
Chelsea have lost 2 of their last 3 away matches.

Head to Head

Man United have an 83-56 advantage against Chelsea in 195 meetings with 56 draws. United beat the Blues 2-1 when the sides last met at Old Trafford.

Man United Form

Ruud van Nistelrooy is in charge at Man United on an interim basis until Ruben Amorim arrives in November. Former manager Erik Ten Hag was dismissed by the club on Monday.

United had won just once in their previous eight, with their sole win at home over Brentford (2-1). That victory came before a 2-1 loss at West Ham, which led to Ten Hag’s sacking.

Van Nistelrooy oversaw a positive 5-2 win against Leicester in the EFL Cup. Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes scored two each and Alejandro Garnacho also struck as United dominated with 23 shots.

Man United Injuries & Team News

Midfielder Christian Eriksen is an injury doubt after missing the Leicester game.

Forward Antony and midfield pair Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount won’t feature due to injury.

Defenders Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are sidelined with injuries and are unavailable.

Captain Bruno Fernandes has made four goal contributions in his last five for club and country and is expected to start.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea have struggled for consistency in October and are winless in three of their previous five in all competitions.

The Blues’ patchy period began with a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest and a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool. A pair of victories against Panathinaikos (4-1) and Newcastle (2-1) provided some relief.

Enzo Maresca’s team lost again on Wednesday, suffering a 2-0 cup loss at Newcastle. Chelsea conceded twice in the opening 26 minutes and couldn’t hit the net with their four shots on target.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Forward Jadon Sancho is unable to face his parent club and won’t make the squad.

19-year-old Omari Kellyman is the Blues' only other absentee. He is ruled out with a hamstring issue.

Verdict

Man Utd v Chelsea

Man United looked like a side with a point to prove last time out and can keep the momentum rolling. Chelsea have been inconsistent, particularly away, and United can use their home advantage to seal a much-needed Premier League win.
