THE PREDICTION
Chelsea return to Premier League action off the back of a magnificent 0-1 success in the first leg of their Champions League first leg tie vs Atletico Madrid in midweek. The Blues are still yet to taste defeat under Thomas Tuchel, with the German head coach having picked up six wins and two draws as since joining the club. This will prove one of his toughest tests yet with second-placed Man Utd the visitors to Stamford Bridge. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions and there is likely to be little to choose between these two, with both desperate to keep their respective good runs going. That could lead to a turgid affair here despite the quality on show from both sides and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see this one finish with the points being shared.
