Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Red Devils will play their first league game under Ruud van Nistelrooy.

On Matchday 10 of the English Premier League, Manchester United will host their rivals Chelsea. The Red Devils are having a very underwhelming season so far as they are placed 14th in the league table. They have only accumulated 11 points from their opening nine games.

The club have more losses than wins this season and considering the poor spell of results, the board sacked Erik ten Hag. The Dutch legend, Ruud van Nistelrooy was then appointed as the interim head coach, and he impressed everyone with his first game in charge.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are finally seeing glimpses of the talent in which they invested for the past two seasons. They are currently placed fifth in the table and have accumulated 17 points. They have five wins, two draws and two losses to their name so far.

Enzo Maresca has exceeded everyone’s expectations with his coaching. His man management has been incredible, and Chelsea are emerging as a very difficult team to beat under him.

Players to watch out for:

Casemiro (Manchester United)

Before the season began, there was a lot of doubt about Casemiro‘s continuity at United. His performance level was dropping but the Brazilian has redeemed himself this season. The former Real Madrid player is displaying once again why he is one of the best players in his position. He also scored for Manchester United in the last two games.

Cole Palmar (Chelsea)

The rise of Cole Palmar at Chelsea has been nothing short of amazing. He went from being a talented youngest in Manchester City to one of the best players in the world in just over 12 months. The England international is known for his technical ability on the ball. His decision-making in the final third is what sets him apart from others and Chelsea will rely on him to make an impact again.
