The Premier League's Matchday 10 clash between Manchester United and Chelsea is set to take place on November 3 at Old Trafford. Manchester United vs. Chelsea: prediction and bet, odds, statistics. **Referee**: Robert Jones (England) Matches – 6 (EPL, 2024/25); Issued yellow cards (including second yellows) – 31; Average yellow cards per match – 5.2; Issued red cards – 2; Fouls per match on average – 24; Penalties – 33%. **Projected Lineups for Manchester United vs. Chelsea** **Manchester United** (4-2-3-1): Andre Onana – Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt – Christian Eriksen, Casemiro – Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes – Rasmus Hojlund. **Chelsea** (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez – Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto – Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia – Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke – Nicolas Jackson. The starting lineups are based on each team's last match in this tournament. **Manchester United** The Red Devils lost their last away game to West Ham (1-2), conceding the decisive penalty goal after the 90th minute. This defeat was the last straw for the club's management, which finally decided to dismiss manager Erik ten Hag. In their last five EPL matches, the club has managed only one win (2 draws and 2 losses). Manchester United has fallen to 14th place and has scored just 8 goals. Only Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored fewer in the league, with 6 goals each. Head coach Erik ten Hag has been sacked, and his position has been filled by Ruben Amorim, who previously managed Sporting Lisbon. It's also worth noting that defenders Tyrell Malacia, Noussair Mazraoui, Lenni Yoro, Luke Shaw, and Harry Maguire, midfielders Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo, as well as forward Anthony Martial, will miss the game due to injuries. - No more than three goals were scored in 10 of the Mancunians' previous Premier League matches. - Manchester United scored at most once in 7 of their last 9 EPL matches. - The club has only one first-half win in their last nine home league games (3 draws and 5 losses). **Chelsea** The Blues won their last home match against Newcastle with a score of 2-1. This victory allowed them to climb to fifth place in the league table. They are just one point behind Arsenal and Aston Villa, who are in third and fourth place, respectively. Enzo Maresca's men have scored 19 goals, which is the second-best in the league after Manchester City's 20 goals. Forward Jadon Sancho will miss the match due to the terms of his loan agreement. - Chelsea lost only once in their last eight EPL matches (5 wins and 2 draws). - Both teams scored in 6 of the last 8 league matches involving the Londoners. - Exactly two or three goals were scored in 8 of the club's last 11 Premier League matches. **Manchester United vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction** Despite the low scoring that Manchester United has shown in recent times, I expect the team to score at least one goal in this game. The club has undergone a change in head coach, which should positively impact the players and their results. Additionally, Manchester United has scored in 11 of their last 14 home league matches but also conceded in 8 of the last 9 games at their own ground. Of course, the visitors should also find the net. Chelsea boasts one of the best attacks in the Premier League. In their last 15 EPL encounters, Chelsea failed to score only against Manchester City. In this series of matches, the team scored at least two goals on 10 occasions. Chelsea's away games in the EPL have also been eventful – three or more goals were scored in 9 of their last 10 matches. My prediction is **"Over 3 Total Goals"** with odds of 1.66. **Author**: Alexander Oleksenko
Manchester United vs Chelsea: betting odds 3 Nov 2024
Manchester United — Chelsea betting tips 3 Nov 2024
This match was already the most anticipated of the 10th round, despite being the second-to-last fixture, and recent events at Manchester United add extra intrigue. How will the interim manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, perform in his first real test? Can he motivate the team effectively against Chelsea?
On Monday, Erik ten Hag was dismissed after two and a half years at the club. By Tuesday, reports emerged of an agreement with Rúben Amorim, currently in charge at Sporting Lisbon. By Wednesday, in the first game without Erik ten Hag, another Dutchman led the team to an impressive victory over Leicester City (5:2) in the League Cup, including two direct free-kick goals. But they must stay grounded, as Leicester City are no Chelsea. Manchester United have yet to prove themselves against opponents of Chelsea’s level this season.
Chelsea, over the past seven days, played back-to-back games against Newcastle United. Last Sunday, the first line-up secured a 2:1 victory at Stamford Bridge in the league. On Wednesday, a largely second-string lineup suffered a defeat at St James’ Park in the League Cup (0:2). The second team, despite being similarly priced, couldn't convert the same number of 17 shots without Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.
Undoubtedly, both key players for Chelsea will be back in action this Sunday, promising an exciting showdown. It could be the same thrilling match as they put on in London this April (4:3 in favour of Chelsea). Under Erik ten Hag, Manchester United beat Chelsea at Old Trafford (4:1, 2:1). The enthusiasm that they got from the fans and Van Nistelrooy on Wednesday should be a weekend booster. We’re sure the hosts won’t lose.
