Manchester United vs Chelsea: Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

In the first week of November and the first Premier League match post Ten Hag, Manchester United will play Chelsea in the Premier League, looking to start a winning streak.

After losing to West Ham last week, the Red Devils returned to the EFL with a 5-2 win against Leicester City. Meanwhile, Chelsea lost away to Newcastle and are out of the EFL.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Two teams who couldn't be more different in their outlooks on the season will square off in this showdown. It has been disheartening for Manchester United. After eight games, the Red Devils have failed to impress, winning just three of them and falling to eleventh place.

To be fair, Manchester United did win their return encounter after the break. Man Utd rallied from a goal behind to defeat Brentford 2-1. This result ended the losing streak at Old Trafford in the league.

Chelsea's league position took a little tumble just after the international break. At Anfield, the Blues lost to Liverpool by a score of 2-1. This result ended their six-game league undefeated streak, which began with a loss on opening weekend.

Conversely, the Blues will have an inflated view of their early success under Enzo Maresca. New campaigns have shown some promising results. It was also Chelsea's first loss in league play this season, their loss to Liverpool.

It seems this game will be played too soon, even though Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, and Kobbie Mainoo are all scheduled to return from injury next month. Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, and Casemiro will also not be participating.

Chelsea may be able to field a new team for this match, except Omari Kellyman, who is injured.
