Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge at 12.30pm on Saturday, and our Chelsea vs Manchester United predictions and betting tips back the fifth-placed hosts to shade a tight Premier League lunchtime.
Fifth-placed Chelsea arrive strong going forward but leaky at the back, and they will see the visit of a misfiring Manchester United as a chance to close the gap on fourth-placed Liverpool.
Manchester United are down in 16th with just one win all season, yet their recent record in this exact fixture gives the travelling support genuine hope of another positive afternoon in west London.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has picked out two Premium Tips for the Stamford Bridge lunchtime, with Chelsea fancied to edge a high-profile clash.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Morgan Rogers to score anytime | 15/8 (BoyleSports) | Morgan Rogers has started all eight of Chelsea’s Premier League games and has four goals from 20 shots, second only to Joao Pedro in the squad. Manchester United have conceded in every league match this season, shipping 13 goals, and they have not won any of their four away games. Chelsea have scored 11 times in four outings at Stamford Bridge, so the chances should come. With Rogers playing almost every minute, 15/8 with BoyleSports for him to add to his tally looks a fair price. |
| Pedro Neto to score anytime | 5/2 (BoyleSports) | Pedro Neto has been Chelsea’s most accurate shooter this season. He has put 10 of his 14 Premier League shots on target, more than any team-mate, and has three goals from seven starts. Manchester United have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their eight league games and conceded three at home to Bournemouth last time out. Chelsea have scored in three of their four home games, and Neto’s habit of hitting the target makes him a live runner to score at Stamford Bridge. BoyleSports’ 5/2 is the price. |

How Chelsea go into the game
Chelsea sit fifth on 13 points, scoring 17 goals but conceding 15, the leakiest defence in the top half of the table.
They lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham in their last league game, ending a run of back-to-back wins, and then went out of the League Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Liverpool in midweek. Before that they beat Bournemouth 5-1 and won 2-0 at Everton, so the attack is firing even if the defence is a worry.
At Stamford Bridge they have won two, drawn one and lost one, scoring 11 times across four home outings.
How Manchester United go into the game
Manchester United have endured a grim start, sitting 16th on seven points with only one victory from eight matches.
Four draws tell the story of a side that is short of a cutting edge, and they have failed to score in three of their eight games while keeping no clean sheet all season.
Their last five league games brought a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City, three successive draws with Fulham, Tottenham and Leeds, and then a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth last time out. On the road they are yet to win, taking three points from four away games.
