Chelsea vs Manchester United Best odds and tips

Chelsea are in the blue in fifth place with 63 points from 36 games in the Premier League 2024-2025, while Manchester United are languishing in 16th with 39 points from the same number of games. The Blues have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, beating Djurgardens IF 1-0 at home before losing 2-0 away to Newcastle United just two days later. Enzo Maresca’s side are tactically flexible, playing a possession-based game with plenty of movement and structure, but have been caught out defensively by teams that play in an unconventional manner, such as Newcastle United.

The Red Devils are in the midst of a transition period with Ruben Amorim’s side playing controlled build-up play with an emphasis on controlling the ball, but they also have the ability to play at pace and press situationally rather than relentlessly. Manuel Ugarte has been in fine form for United, providing four assists in their last five games, while Bruno Fernandes remains the top scorer in the team with eight goals in 34 Premier League games, controlling the tempo and creating chances from midfield. The visitors have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three away matches, while Chelsea have won three, drawn none and lost none of their last three at Stamford Bridge.

United’s last trip to Stamford Bridge ended in defeat and, with the Blues’ home form and Manchester United’s away woes, they are rightful favourites for this clash at 1.33, while the visitors are outsiders at 7.00 and the draw is 5.50. However, we feel that Chelsea’s dominance at home should be enough to take all three points in this game, which could be pivotal in determining European qualification for these two former giants of English football.
