Manchester United v Chelsea Match Preview

If the writing was on the wall for Erik ten Hag after Manchester United’s defeat at West Ham on Sunday, then that same writing has already been washed away after the Red Devils’ emphatic win over Leicester in midweek.

Defeat in the Premier League costing ten Hag his status as United manager, success in the League Cup under interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy somehow making the same group of players look closer to prime Barcelona in just over 96 hours. 

The likes of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes looked rather languid under the previous Dutch boss at Old Trafford, their performance was bordering on world-class under the current Hollander in the hotseat.

A 5-2 win over the Foxes sees United move into the last eight of this season’s Carabao Cup where a trip to the white half of North London awaits and by that stage, the red half of Manchester will have looked to have named ten Hag’s permanent successor.

That man looks set to be Ruben Amorim and with the Sporting manager doing the noble thing of working out the notice that his Portuguese employers have put in place, it will be down to van Nistelrooy to oversee the visit of Chelsea on Sunday.

A visit that sees Chelsea look to return to winning ways after their own League Cup outing on Wednesday and whereas United were marching on, Enzo Maresca’s men were being dumped out by Newcastle at St James’ Park.

A 2-0 defeat is obviously a bitter pill to swallow in the short-term but the exit at the hands of the Magpies may actually help the Stamford Bridge outfit in the long-term and especially if it helps their bid to return to the top four.

Slightly less domestic football to worry about and in theory, this should sharpen Chelsea’s focus in the Premier League – focus that would have also been recalibrated after getting the better of Newcastle at home last weekend. 

No rubber match between those two sides, instead it is another United that the Blues have to deal with on Sunday. Unfortunately for the West London outfit, they arrive knowing their hosts are suddenly a lot stronger than they were just less than a week before. 

But now it is time for the first of my two tips and with it being a flip of a coin between the two sides at present, this coin almost needs a third one. Thankfully, there is always the option of the draw to fall back on and therefore, I am going to back the stalemate and under 3.5 total goals at 5/1 with Betfred.

In addition to this, I think the hosts will be first out of the blocks and go into the interval ahead. However, I also think the visitors will be able to find parity by the final whistle. Therefore, the United half-time win/draw at full time combination is also being backed at odds of 13/1 with BetVictor.
