Manchester United might actually see Chelsea and decides to chin up, that 2-1 victory you are seeing, might actually be in favor of Manchester United instead of Chelsea. I don't see Manchester United losing that encounter, at best it might be a draw. We all saw how well Chelsea performed against Liverpool some few days back, you could easily see that they could not dominate Liverpool to a large extent, for me I feel it was more of an average team play. So don't get it twisted that Manchester United might actually be a better contender than Liverpool tomorrow.

Well, I honestly have a lot of hope and all my faith that this match for Manchester United will be a turning point, where Carrick will finally deliver a victory. I think they deserve to play better, with more spirit, and win they owe it to the fans.

They must show resilience. It's true they've lost a lot, but there comes a point where they have to switch that mentality and secure the results they need. Winning against Chelsea won't just boost their morale; it will also help the team stabilize and allow them to start believing in themselves again.

Chelsea is definitely doing better than Manchester united right now, so I am expecting them to win the match on Saturday. Manchester United have been very poor all season and I don't think they stand a chance against Chelsea right now, especially the fact that Chelsea is even playing at home which definitely give them an advantage over their opponent. Chelsea might not be in contention for the title right now, but I think they have had a decent season so far and the same can not be said about Manchester United.

It's difficult to tell who is doing better between Manchester United and Chelsea because both teams haven't been doing well since the season started but Chelsea has shown that they will be in the style of winning and losing matches while Manchester United is mostly playing draw and losing matches, if my memory serves me right then i think they only won 1 match this season. This is a rival match so any of the teams can win.

At the very least, Chelsea have shown better results in the current standings, along consistency. The upcoming match is one filled with prestige for both teams; they must secure points in every game to maintain their consistency in the league standings. While both sides have a chance of winning the match, the issues currently affecting Carrick squad are far more serious. Chelsea arguably has the upper hand, given the issues Manchester is facing at the very least, they could capitalize on this opportunity to secure all three points on their own home turf.

The match between Manchester United and Chelsea is the first fixture to be played in the Premier League today. Manchester United faces a difficult away game perhaps this is why the board decided to give Carrick one last chance; if they manage to secure three points from such a challenging encounter, he will have proven his potential. Should they lose to Chelsea, however, he will be dismissed. It is a tough match for Manchester United.

Most people are just busy talking about and looking more forward on the Manchester United vs Chelsea match,.which I believe will not be tougher than the Manchester City vs Brighton match. Many are anticipating about the Man u and Chelsea match likely because they are both top clubs of the league, but as it stands now and what is at stake in the Man city/Brighton match, the match will be more tougher than the Chelsea match because both teams will be very serious in winning the match as it will determine who will top the table. Man city and Brighton so far this season have also been performing good ranking first and third on the table, also Man city will wants to remain on the top in as much as Brighton will wants to also replace them and be at the top, but nevertheles it will be determine at the end of the match.

Brighton was clearly exposed when they fought Liverpool last week. So City gets a clue how to beat Brighton by saw Liverpool vs Brighton's highlight. This is why i don't mind it because it's likely City is taking full pts from Brighton. I also have my bet on City to win.
Beside that it's a common thing so many people put attention to the United vs Chelsea because it's a big match that plays as the opening matchweek. It's also harder to predict than City vs Brighton because Chelsea and MU are rarely beat each other during the modern football and it's often ended with the draw.

It clearly spilling us about how Chelsea and United are in the same state, though Chelsea is better on paper and table. However, i feel Chelsea may be bottle this game.
Their massive lose against Spurs can't convince me. It's hard to measure whether they will perform bad or good due to the inconsistency.

Hopefully, we'll see an attractive football to happen, yet i have my bet on double MU or draw.

Yes if truly they managed to win Chelsea on today's game, that's definitely gonna go a long way to the way they think now and to the fan's world wide, so I will urge them to put in their best on this match to at least make up some mistake from their past matches, because their fans are not really pleased with them, to the extent they were leaving the stadium even before the first half against Bournemouth could end, they really need to act on this game, because their next few games before the international break is not also friendly, as they will be facing Aston villa and Liverpool before the break, so they do need to get this Three points today.

Chelsea could win 2-1 or even more. Especially considering Manchester United's current form, I think Chelsea are ahead. However, to better assess them, Chelsea's recent situation can be considered. Chelsea drew 1-1 in regular time against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on October 28. They later went to a penalty shootout and lost 6-5. Morgan Rogers scored a goal from the penalty spot in this match. Goalkeeper Mike Penders also made some important saves. This means that although Chelsea lost, they were not defeated by their opponents in the entire match. However, there is reason to worry about the team's defense.
Maxence Lacroix left the field injured in the Liverpool match. Even Joao Pedro is absent due to a thigh injury.

I saw Chelsea lose 2-0 against Tottenham in the last match and I bet on them and lost in that match. Chelsea was the favorite team in that match but they performed badly. In the upcoming match, Chelsea is the favorite and Manchester United is a weak opponent, so Chelsea deserves to win as expected. Manchester United has become a devastated team and they will need a lot of time to recover, so it is almost certain that Chelsea will win this match. Although Chelsea's position in the title race is not very good yet, they have the potential to do better.

No analysis is effective against Manchester United, they can surprise you in many ways. Maybe they can surprise you by winning the match against Chelsea or by losing by a huge margin. Especially against big teams, Manchester United's performance is very unpredictable, so it is very difficult to say that Chelsea is going to win the match.

One thing you should be aware of is that EFL Cup matches and Premier League matches are not the same. So it is normal that the fight is different, for Premier League match analysis you have to analyze the Premier League performance. Looking at the Premier League statistics, Chelsea's performance is not good. Because they have faced 3 defeats and 1 draw in 8 matches, that is, they have lost points in 50% of the matches.

Manchester United has been on a losing streak so it's right if people start analysing against Manchester United, the Red Devils has been humiliated many times this season in all competition and this is not how it should be, Manchester United is just like an underdog team now with no classic player but football is still what it is, still unpredictable.

The team everyone thought will lose may still win and nobody can be too sure that Chelsea will win and nobody can also be too sure that Manchester United is going to defeat Chelsea, although am a bit convinced that Manchester United winning will start against Chelsea.

Tomorrow Chelsea will play Man United, this is a betting opportunity that is not too difficult. Chelsea can get 3 points against that bad team. Xabi must maximize the big opportunities in front of his eyes, against Man United it's like a free voucher containing 3 points. Or do you still believe and bet for the victory of Man United?

If everything is so simple and clear, then why do I see a meaningless picture and not a screenshot of your bet?   Do you tell people what club logos look like or what time a game is? Your kindness is astonishing, but it would be better to show a screenshot of the bet.
Bookmakers see the game like this:

LoL
At the time I wrote yesterday bets have not yet appeared on the site, but since without the need to satisfy you in the end I'm used to betting. Now it appears I took BTTS, it doesn't matter that every gambler has their own references.

City - Brighton game is a tough encounter but I won't pick it over the Chelsea - United game. Chelsea vs Manchester United has always been a strong Derby game right from time and it has been a tradition for both clubs no matter how badly they are performing they always make it a tough one for one another. This is quite different from the City vs Brighton game, which is likely to go in favor of City even though Brighton gives them a good challenge.

Manchester United performance is more worse than Chelsea at the moment so that gives Chelsea hedge over them and also has the home advantage but still with Chelsea advantage they should know that United is not going to make it easy for them. I think Chelsea can even lose if they are not being careful.

To be honest, they are far out of the title race. I don’t expect Chelsea to win the league this year, though I would say they are in the mix for a Champions League spot. Their problem, however, is dropping points against weaker teams even sides in very poor form manage to take points off Chelsea and that simply shouldn’t happen. Manager Xabi hasn’t yet been able to put his full stamp on the team, but we all know his quality. I believe he should be given a few years of patience, and in time, we will see the fruits of his labor.

Usually, I'm good at predicting the outcome of Manchester United vs. Chelsea games, but this time, this game has actually allowed me a tough time to take a side looking at the performances of these two teams lately. Chelsea lost their last game, and Manchester United is not in their best of form. However, records have favored Manchester United over Chelsea the most, and I kind of see a draw in this match because Manchester United hardly lost to Chelsea and wouldn't also think Chelsea would lose twice at home.

I am expecting this game to be as fascinating as it uses to be, because both teams has that tendency of stepping up their game once they are up against each other, but as you have rightfully said, the head to head record favours Manchester United to win , since they have been dominant over Chelsea in the past few seasons, but I think that the record might be put to an halt today because Manchester United currently are just too poor, unless they step up their game, but if they did not step up to the expected level, I believe that Chelsea may end that bad record they have against Manchester United in today's game.

Well you have a point. A Draw is also likely in this game. But we should know that Manchester United performance is really very terrible and when compared to Chelsea's performance there's a huge difference despite the fact that Chelsea is inconsistent. The major issues with Chelsea right now is Joao Pedro missing out and then Lacroix also missing due to injury picked up recently. I believe with Chelsea's attacking trio complete they should be able to win against Manchester United easily. With the injuries it could be difficult for them but I still keep looking at how bad united is and think Chelsea has hope winning this one.

Don’t be surprised when this game doesn’t live up to the expectations and hype, most games that are always hyped up in the Premier League doesn’t live up to their expectations most time, I have so much pity for Micheal Carrick I was expecting Manchester United to have had a good run in the Premier League considering the kind of fixtures they’ve had, but unfortunately it’s not going well for them, Manchester United had a very bad transfer window, when I saw the kind of players they were signing I immediately knew they aren’t going to have a good season, Manchester United doesn’t have control in midfield in games, signing Santos was a mess in the Midfield. The board didn’t support Carrick in the Transfer Window, this game can actually go anyway.

Years back Manchester united vs Chelsea used to be premier league El Clasico not untill both team started underperforming especially Manchester united yet it is still like the El Clasico of premier league because they have a lot of fans in the world . However, in their history both team normally perform well regardless but Manchester united performance currently is shit so I don't know how well they will do in this game but I guess the game today will be a draw.

[AprilioMP]

Michael Carrick was given more time to put Man United in shape and start delivering. Will they bounce back in an away game against Chelsea, or are they too far gone? Hard to say. I have a feeling they could earn at least a point.

I do not know what to say to Man United, they have been playing too badly for the last few weeks, so Carrick was given the opportunity then this will not make things change so quickly, like it takes a long recovery cemistry with the players.

Even so, my prediction is Chelsea will win let alone they are favored at home, while betting on Man United is a much greater risk, but you can reconsider.

This Chelsea-Manchester United match will be a defining one for Carrick with United. A loss would clearly be his last match as manager, although there's no official confirmation, and I don't think there will be any.
Manchester United's form has been terrible, and that's acknowledged by all United supporters, but betting on a match against Chelsea is a cautious choice. Manchester United will likely perform well to protect the media algorithms that generate revenue every time they play.

I believe Chelsea can win the match, but I have my doubts because Manchester United are in a poor run, but they could explode in this match.

[knowngunman]

Well, I honestly have a lot of hope and all my faith that this match for Manchester United will be a turning point, where Carrick will finally deliver a victory. I think they deserve to play better, with more spirit, and win they owe it to the fans.

Winning against Chelsea won't just boost their morale; it will also help the team stabilize and allow them to start believing in themselves again.

It's not a big deal for me even if Manchester United beat Chelsea today. Manchester United always beat Chelsea regardless of their form even in their worst season, they normally manage to get a result against Chelsea. To be honest, it doesn't prove anything if they beat them today. Personally, I won't use this match to restore my confidence in Manchester united unless they beat the likes of City and Arsenal or at least they can win 3 or more games consecutively irrespective of the opponents they face. Winning against Chelsea is important for them but all I'm saying is it won't make me to believe they've bounce back and regain their confidence.

Brighton was clearly exposed when they fought Liverpool last week. So City gets a clue how to beat Brighton by saw Liverpool vs Brighton's highlight. This is why i don't mind it because it's likely City is taking full pts from Brighton. I also have my bet on City to win.

Even though Brighton lost 2-0 against Liverpool, I do not think their weaknesses were exposed. They were just unlucky. We  witnessed Brighton's dominance at Liverpool's home ground. But, after conceding two goal within just twenty minute, they could not make any comeback against opponent's strong defense. Moreover first goal was result of Pascal's mistake.


It is normal to consider City as the favorites, but their past record against Brighton is not very good. Out of the last 5 head to head match, Manchester has managed to secure only one win. That was last week's EFL cup match, where City secured victory via  penalty shootout. Therefore, get rid of notion that City will easily win this. Brighton now has very  strong squad. Following defeat against Liverpool, they will try to recover their loss by winning this match.

I don't even think that it will be possible for Manchester United to win Chelsea because they have wasted their best chances in the first half playing goalless. Chelsea have already broken the deadlock on the 50th minutes with a goal from Rogers to put them one goal up and the score line is 1-0. I wonder how Manchester United will be able to equalize this goal and score another. United have already lost this game from my own side.

[Cossyblack]

Anything is possible in football and predictions haven't been easy but somehow we still managed to get it right when we are lucky. But you see this match, Manchester united will end up being disgraced at the Stamford bridge. There's not a shred of confidence left in them, so how are they going to defeat Chelsea on their strongest ground? This can only be possible in a fantasies world and not in the real world of football that I know so well. Manchester United aren't going anywhere if they don't change their coach and begin buying players. Chelsea are going to humilate them exactly the way other teams have taken their own pound of flesh from them.
