Chelsea head into this match with the idea of taking another step towards winning the Premier League if they beat Manchester United this weekend, but that will by no means be easy as the Red Devils are one of England’s most in-form team at the moment. United have won 6 games in a row, moving into third place in the table in the process. They will want to hunt down Arsenal in second, even if their main objective will be to not lose. Chelsea are unbeaten in 7 matches against United, and will wan to continue even if they haven’t looked great recently. Chelsea will be forced to play Didier Drogba up front as Diego Costa is still injured and Loic Remy is struggling with a calf injury but aside from that they have no other injury worries. Louis van Gaal will surely play the same team as in the past few matches with Carrick sure to recover in time but Van Persie will only make the bench.
Our Probable Formations:
Chelsea (4.2.3.1) Courtois, Ivanvic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Matic, Willian, Fabregas, Hazard and Drogba.
Manchester United (4.1.4.1) De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Carrick, Mata, Fellaini, Herrera, Young and Rooney.
BetAdvisor Top Tips:
Our top tipster would suggest that the best betting option will take into consideration the fact that Chelsea have been drawing at half time and winning at full time in their last 3 matches in the Premier League and are undefeated in their last 16 home matches in the Premier League, but then again so have United.
A sports betting expert will also suggest there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Man Utd’s last 4games in the Premier League so a thought should go out for an Over 2.5.
