Preview

Chelsea are still alive in the top-four race with just two league matches left. Under Enzo Maresca, they’ve shown good form recently but suffered a big setback in their previous match against Newcastle. With 63 points, they’re currently in 5th place, two points behind Manchester City. They must win both remaining fixtures and hope City slips to clinch a Champions League spot.

Despite an up-and-down season, players like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, and Noni Madueke have stepped up. However, the suspension of Nicolas Jackson and injuries to Nkunku and Fofana could cause issues up front.

On the other side, Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, have had a disastrous league campaign. Currently 16th with just 39 points, the Red Devils have nothing left to fight for in the league. However, they have a UEFA Europa League final on the horizon and could use this game to regain some rhythm.

Their 0-2 home defeat to West Ham last week was humiliating, but players like Hojlund, Mainoo, and Mason Mount will be motivated to perform against Chelsea. The squad is thin though, with multiple injuries, including De Ligt, Dalot, and Zirkzee.

Chelsea vs Manchester United Match Prediction

This is a classic Premier League fixture between two of the most decorated clubs in English football. While Chelsea are the favorites based on form, injuries and pressure could level the playing field.

Manchester United, despite their poor run, have the firepower to trouble Chelsea, especially if Bruno Fernandes and Hojlund click in the final third. But given their fragile defense, Chelsea may dominate possession and chances.

Still, with United gearing up for a European final and Chelsea missing key players, this clash could end evenly matched.
