LiontipsChelsea vs Manchester United. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 22, 2022).
Command Analysis
Graham Potter has not tasted defeat in his seven games as the manager of Chelsea. His charges conceded only two goals since he was hired, and kept a clean sheet in the last five games. This Saturday, Chelsea will try to extend their unbeated streak at Stamford Bridge, where the Londoners have not lost since April. However, last time the Blues defeated Manchester United was way back in November 2017.
Currently, Chelsea are in 4th place in the Premier League standings with 20 points from six victories and two draws. The Blues won their last two Champions League games against AC Milan and became the leaders of Group E. They can secure their spot in the playoffs next week if they defeat RB Salzburg.
Kante, Gallagher, Fofana, and Jones have been ruled out of this fixture.
Manchester United's recent form has been good - the team has suffered only one defeat in the past eight games. In the middle of the week, they beat Tottenham (2:0), demonstrating excellent team play. Now the Red Devils are in 5th place, trailing their current opponents by 1 point. A victory in the upcoming game will allow MU to get into the top-4.
Erik ten Hag's side won three out of four games in the Europa League and are occupying the second line in Group E. They are practically guaranteed to qualify for the playoffs.
The visiting team will be without Ronaldo, Martial, Maguire, van de Beek, Williams, and Wan-Bissaka.

Tip and bets
This is a battle of the giants. Together, Chelsea and Man United won 18 out of 30 Premier League titles since 1992. The hosts hold an advantage in the head-to-head, but the teams are equal, so we expect a very intense and close game with the focus on the defenses. No more than two goals were scored in the last four games between these clubs. We will take the under here.
Our prediction — total under 2.5 goals
It is hard to say who has a bigger chance of success in this fixture, since both teams are in good form and have quality players in their ranks. In the last four meetings, the opponents tied, and we will pick a draw as the most likely result here.
Second wager — draw
