Man Utd vs Chelsea betting tips and summary

Bryan Mbuemo to have 1+ shot on target – landed in his opening two matches at Old Trafford

Over 8 corners in the match – has happened in the last four matches between the two sides 

Man Utd to have the most cards – had six yellow cards in the last H2H matchup between these two

The English Premier League returns to Old Trafford this Saturday as visitors Chelsea take on Manchester United in a clash between two teams desperate to reach a new level of consistency. 

Man Utd arrive in this fixture on the back of a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Man City in the local derby. 

It was a humbling afternoon for Ruben Amorim and his men, who were outclassed in every metric, once again raising questions about the manager’s tactical approach and formula. 

United have shown glimpses of attacking quality this season, but Amorim’s system is yet to provide any form of stability or control to signify a change to the Red Devils’ ongoing struggles. 

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, meanwhile, were left frustrated in Gameweek 4, squandering a late lead to draw 2-2 away against Brentford. 

Saturday’s draw means the Blues do remain unbeaten in the EPL this season. However, an inability to close out matches will leave them chasing in their hunt for European football. 

Both sides come into this fixture needing a response in Gameweek 5. 

For United, questions will be raised about their ability to forget last week’s disaster and bounce back with the character needed to rival those at the top. 

For Chelsea, it’ll be a good indicator of their ability to convincingly dispatch a team in disarray like Man Utd. 

What are the best bets for Man Utd vs Chelsea?  

Bryan Mbuemo to have 1+ shot on target 

Despite United’s inability to mount any form of consistency in attack, Mbuemo has been a bright spark in an otherwise dull start to the season. 

The Cameroon international has registered four shots on target in his previous two matches at Old Trafford, and will be looking to add to his tally against Chelsea. 

Man Utd to have the most cards 

Man Utd have had the most cards in three out of their last four head-to-head meetings and if they are going to have a chance of winning on Saturday, they will need to find these levels of physicality.
