THE PREDICTION

Manchester United come into the game on a high from their mid-week 2-1 victory over PSG in the Champions League whilst Chelsea had yet another mediocre performance, a 0-0 draw against Sevilla. A potential debut for Edison Cavani, perhaps off the bench, will fill United with added confidence and if Ole’s defence play as well as they did against PSG, both with defending and going forward, then Chelsea could be in trouble. Perhaps a week ago, many would have picked Chelsea as favourites but after their previous two games, Lampard's men are starting to show their weakness. A United win, BTTS, over 2.5 goals and a potential Cavani debut goal is a lot to ask for, but under the current circumstances a possibility.
