Chelsea vs Manchester United Premier League Tips, Predictions & Odds

April 18, 2026 at 6:00 pm GMT+1

Chelsea host Manchester United in the final Premier League game on Saturday, and both teams, particularly the home side, would have wanted better in recent games.

United are in third, inside of the top four and a return to the Champions League, while Chelsea are in 6th, on the outside looking in. A win for United, they're 10 ahead of Chelsea with five to play, but a Chelsea win cuts the gap to four points, and it's game on.

Chelsea vs Manchester United Tips

I've put together three picks for the game, and on top of that, regardless of who you fancy here, there's a great Paddy Power offer to give free bets to new customers.

Get 60/1 on a Chelsea win, or 50/1 on a Manchester United win.

Tip 1: Manchester United Win & BTTS at 4/1 (William Hill)

I think this game will be close, but feel the value all lies with Manchester United, and them to win this game, combined with both teams to score, at odds of 4/1, is far too big in my opinion.

14 points from their last eight games puts them 4th in the table, bang in line with their overall league position, so they are playing to form right now, even if suffering from a few hiccups, Leeds on Monday being the most obvious.

Chelsea certainly aren't playing to form for a 6th placed team. They're on a three match losing run, have no win in their last four at home, and are failing to live up to expectations.

As for goals in the game, all stats point this way. 75% of Manchester United games have ended with both teams scoring, it's 62% when looking at Chelsea games. United have failed to score themselves just three times this season, and Chelsea five.

Finally, more Manchester United stats, they've scored in their last 20 consecutive games, and are the joint highest scoring team away from home, with 26 away goals.

Tip 2: Casemiro to Score Anytime at 15/2 (bet365)

I've had to look twice at the price on offer, to make sure I'd not got this wrong, but it's correct. Plenty higher than what's been offered elsewhere, Casemiro is massive at 15/2 to score in this game.

A combative defensive midfielder, he's not known for goals, but has popped up on occasions, and is a real set piece threat in the air.

Eight goals from 30 games, and not only that, but three goals in his last four games, so he's bang in form at the moment.

He's too big to ignore in the scoring battle.

Tip 3: Manchester United Win, Both Teams to Score in First Half, Casemiro Goal or Assist at 14/1 (Paddy Power)

I've already staked my case for Manchester United above, I'll put them in the game bet builder to win this one against a Chelsea side that are really struggling at the moment.

Casemiro is another I've mentioned, backing him to score. Here, I'll give us more chance by saying a goal or an assist, with two assists adding to the goals, he's got 10 goal involvements from 30 games this season.

Finally, I expect things to start fast here, both want to win, it's an important game and both will see the first 20 minutes as a place where they can set the tone. I'll side with both scoring in the first half, plenty of goals overall wouldn't be a surprise, let's hope both can bag early.
