The race for Champions League qualification continues in the 2025/26 Premier League as Chelsea host Manchester United.

Chelsea arrive at this game off the back of only one win from their last six matches across all competitions.

Three consecutive Premier League defeats and two losses across both legs of their Champions League clash with PSG are only bettered by their thrashing of Port Vale in the FA Cup.

Manager Liam Rosenior’s side now sit four points adrift of Champions League qualification, with only Tottenham and Burnley taking fewer points than them from their last five matches.

Chelsea now welcome a Manchester United side that had been flying under Michael Carrick, prior to a loss away to Newcastle in early March.

It was their first defeat under Carrick, and they have since won only one of their three subsequent Premier League matches.

They sit third in the Premier League table, as they travel to West London, though defeat at home to Leeds meant that they missed the opportunity to move further clear of Liverpool, who are fifth.

What are the best bets for Chelsea vs Man Utd?

Both teams to score, Match to end in draw

This will be a very open affair, as neither side are in good form and neither side can defend at the moment.

Chelsea have conceded 15 goals across their last six matches, conceding three goals in each of their last two Premier League games.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have conceded at least twice in three of their last four Premier League matches.

Both teams to score seems to be an obvious shout, as it has landed in eight of the last nine head-to-head matches between these two sides.

I can’t call a winner, as neither team strikes me with confidence, so I’ll back the draw instead.
