Man United will be looking for a response when they return to Premier League action on Wednesday. The Red Devils were extremely disappointing in their previous fixture against Newcastle, and a much-improved performance will be expected when United host Chelsea this week.

Before Betting On Man United vs Chelsea

Man United will be playing under pressure once again at Old Trafford on Wednesday, as Erik ten Hag looks to ride out yet another crisis. The Red Devils were well below the standards required at St. James’ Park over the weekend, as United were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle. That loss was their first in four league matches, and brought an end to their three-game winning run.

Chelsea appear to be another side that are in and out of a crisis very often this term, and the Blues will be chasing a second straight victory in the Premier League on Wednesday. Mauricio Pochettino’s side showed their battling qualities in their previous fixture, as they managed to hold on to a 3-2 win against Brighton despite playing with ten men for long periods.

United’s record in this fixture is very solid, as they have gone eleven league matches without defeat against the Blues. However, draws have been a very common result when these sides have collided, and that is evident from the fact that seven of the last eleven have ended level. In fact, this is the most drawn fixture in Premier League history.

Chelsea’s record in midweek Premier League matches is a concern this week, as they have won just once in their previous ten. Meanwhile, they have suffered defeats in five of their last six.
