Chelsea v Man United – Mon 18th Feb, 19:30, Stamford Bridge

Referee: Kevin Friend

What a game to kick off a week of excellent football. Chelsea host the inform, but a slightly deflated United side that fell to their first loss under Ole Gunnar last week. The Red Devils lost 2-0 to PSG at Old Trafford in the first leg of their CL tie, while also having Paul Pogba sent off late in the match.

Meanwhile, Chelsea got back to winning ways in their 2-1 victory against Malmo in their Europa League tie, ending their four-game away losing streak without scoring a goal. Asides from their disappointing results on the road in recent matches, Chelsea have remained solid at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have won their last five home games in a row in all competitions, scoring 14 goals while conceding just two. Meanwhile, United have been solid away from home, winning their last six games in a row while keeping four clean sheets.

Admittedly, Chelsea are capable of keeping clean sheets at Stamford Bridge, but I just do not see it happening in this game. I have been impressed with United’s attacking threat under Ole Gunnar, and I think Pogba will have a big impact on this match.

United have scored at least one goal in their last 18 away matches in a row while seeing both teams score in 12 of those matches.

Betting Tip

Firstly, Chelsea are 19/20 to win, the draw is 11/4 and a Man United win is 31/10.

This game could easily go either way, but I do see a lot more value in the United win at 31/10 with Unibet. Chelsea have been pretty poor in recent matches, yes they are strong at Stamford Bridge, but they haven’t looked good to enough to be at 19/20 to win this one.

Meanwhile, United have been really impressive on the road, with excellent wins against both Spurs and Arsenal in recent games while winning their last six away games in a row.
