Chelsea vs Manchester United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2024-25

The Blues will take on the Red Devils on matchday 37 in the Premier League.

Two Premier League giants will face each other on Friday, as both teams will be aiming to get three points from this fixture. Enzo Maresca doesn’t have the best relationship with the Chelsea supporters, but they could secure UEFA Champions League qualification this season. They will now host the Red Devils.

In 36 games, the Blues have won 18 games, drawn nine games and lost nine games. With 63 points on the table, they are sitting in fifth position in the points table. Manchester City have a two-point lead over them, and only two league games are remaining.

The Blues will have to win their remaining two games and hope that City drop points. In the last match, they lost a great opportunity to get points, as they lost to Newcastle United away from home. They will have to be at their best, and they have to get the win against United to stay in the top-four race.

On the other hand, Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United are having an awful season. But despite this, they have reached the final of the UEFA Europa League, where they will face Spurs. They have played 36 games in which they have won 10, drawn nine and lost 17 games.

With 39 points on the table, they are sitting in the 16th spot. In the last game, they suffered defeat to West Ham United as the match ended in a 0-2 victory for the Hammers. This loss was even more shameful as they lost at home.

Even though they have nothing to lose anymore in the Premier League and they will now have to play for their pride. This will be a mouthwatering clash.

Form

Chelsea (in all competitions): L-W-W-W-W

Manchester United (in all competitions): L-W-L-W-D

Players to Watch

Levi Colwill (Chelsea)

He is mainly a centre-back, but he is also great at playing left-back. This flexibility makes him very useful for any team. Colwill is also good with the ball.

He is not afraid to bring it up from the back and help in attacks. He can start plays and keep the other team’s defence on edge. He is great at tackling with both timing and precision. He knows when to challenge an opponent and when to hold back.

Colwill does not shine alone. He talks well with his teammates and works together with the other defenders. Colwill’s awareness is not only about defending; he also understands attacking plays as well.

The ability helps him to intercept passes, stop through balls, and start counterattacks effectively. He has played 33 games this season in which he scored once and provided one assist, and got nine yellow cards.

Mason Mount (Manchester United)

Since he has joined the Red Devils, he has suffered from injuries and hasn’t played a lot of games. Despite being a top player, he was not able to show his quality on the pitch and received a lot of criticism. He has recovered well from the injury and is now playing well.

He is a versatile player who can play in a number of different positions. Mount can score as well as provide an assist. Even after so many setbacks, he has always bounced back and shown his quality on the pitch.

His presence and quality will surely help United in the remaining fixtures. Amorim will have full trust in him to deliver top performance in the upcoming fixtures. This season, he has played 15 games, in which he scored only once.
