Chelsea v Manchester United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Jose Mourinho will be desperate to come back to haunt his former club when Manchester United take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Portuguese manager is under pressure at Old Trafford as his side sit seven points adrift of the top down in eighth place, although earned some breathing space with a comeback 3-2 victory over Newcastle prior to the international break.

Latest Odds

However, his side are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders with bet365 to build on that result by coming out on top at this ground for the first time since 2012.

In contrast, the Blues are level on points with Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table, and priced at just 7/10 (1.70) to add to their former hero's problems with a victory here.

None of the last six encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Team News

Antonio Rudiger is a doubt after withdrawing from Germany's squad during the international break, while Ethan Ampadu is also ruled out due to the knee injury that forced him off in Wales' 4-1 defeat to Spain.

Scott McTominay, Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic and Luke Shaw all face late fitness tests for United, although Marcos Rojo and Jesse Lingard are expected to miss out. Alexis Sanchez returned late from international duty with Chile and is a doubt.

High-scoring clash

Having kept just one clean sheet in their opening eight league games and with only three teams having conceded more goals so far, the Red Devils will certainly be up against it to keep Maurizio Sarri’s free-flowing side at bay.

Predictions

However, the fact they have also failed to score just once so far in the league should at least give them confidence of causing Chelsea some problems, with odds of 4/5 (1.80) well worth backing on over 2.5 goals being scored for their seventh league game in nine.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
