Chelsea vs Manchester United predictions ahead of Premier League showdown

Manchester United travel down to London with for Saturday's Stamford Bridge showdown with a spring in their step. The Reds posted their best performance of the season in beating Tottenham 2-0 on Wednesday, a victory that means they go into this crunch fixture knowing that another three-point haul would see them leapfrog Chelsea and go into the top four. That's quite some turnaround since the thrashing at Brentford.

United are 5/2 chances with Betfred to win at Stamford Bridge, while the hosts are 23/20 favourites to bag a fourth home win of the campaign. Chelsea have taken maximum points from all three home matches since the 2-2 draw with Spurs on the second weekend of the season.

Erik ten Hag's side racked up a monstrous 28 efforts on the Spurs goal on Wednesday but an xGF of just 1.7 puts into perspective just how many of those attempts came were from long range. That said, United completely dominated a Spurs side that could never get to grips with the energy and dynamism the Reds showed in their attacking play.
