Manchester United vs Chelsea – Match Preview and Team News | OneFootball

Old Trafford stages a marquee Premier League fixture on Saturday as a Manchester United side in crisis host unbeaten Chelsea.

The match pits two clubs in contrasting form against each other. United are enduring their worst start to a Premier League season since 1992/93 and sit 14th, while Chelsea are one of only three unbeaten teams. However, United can draw confidence from a formidable home record in this fixture, having not lost to Chelsea at Old Trafford in the league since 2013.

Manchester United vs Chelsea – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has been boosted by the return of Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount, though Diogo Dalot remains a doubt. Captain Bruno Fernandes is set to make his 200th Premier League appearance. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to feature in attack and has an excellent personal record against Chelsea.

Chelsea

Enzo Maresca has some key absentees, with Liam Delap, Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo, and the suspended Mykhailo Mudryk all unavailable. However, he is boosted by the full fitness of key creator Cole Palmer, who scored in the midweek Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. In-form striker João Pedro is expected to lead the line.

Form

Manchester United

The Red Devils have had a dreadful start, taking just four points from four games. Their play has been paradoxical; they have created the second-most expected goals in the league, but have been undermined by a frail defence and inability to take chances. Their 12-game unbeaten home run against Chelsea is a source of hope.

Chelsea

The Blues have made an impressive unbeaten start to the Premier League season, winning two and drawing two of their league fixtures. However, their momentum was checked by a 3-1 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich in midweek, a result that ended their undefeated run in all competitions.

Predicted Lineups

Manchester United predicted XI: Bayındır; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Fernadnes, Casemiro, Amad; Cunha; Mbeumo, Šeško.

Chelsea predicted XI: Sánchez; James, Chalobah, Cucurella, Gusto; Fernández, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; João Pedro.
