THE LOWDOWN
CHELSEA
- Chelsea got back to winning ways in the Premier League in emphatic fashion last weekend, beating Leicester 0-3 away from home before returning to Stamford Bridge in midweek and thrashing Italian giants Juventus 4-0 in the Champions League group stage.
- Unfortunately, Chelsea’s win over Juventus was overshadowed by injuries to midfielder N’Golo Kante and left-back Ben Chilwell, the latter having suffered ACL damage and may miss the rest of the season.
MAN UTD
- Michael Carrick tasted victory in his first match in temporary charge of Man Utd midweek in the Champions League, this following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after United’s humiliating 4-1 beating away at Watford in the Premier League.
- The Red Devils head to Stamford Bridge short in central defence, with Raphael Varane injured and captain Harry Maguire suspended after being sent off at Vicarage Road, whilst Man Utd will also be without Paul Pogba (injury), Mason Greenwood (isolating after contracting COVID-19) with both Luke Shaw (injury) and Edinson Cavani (injury) likely to miss out as well.

THE PREDICTION
Whilst Chelsea may have won nine of their 12 Premier League fixtures so far this season, they have been prone to the occasional home slip up, losing to Man City and more recently drawing with Burnley. However, this doesn’t alter the fact that the Blues are an outstanding team unit, who have built an outstanding defensive foundation, backed up by an offensive style of play that incorporates not only the naturally attacking players, but also wing-backs such as Reece James who is in the form of his life having been given license by Tuchel to roam forward at will. Provided Chelsea can maintain control of the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo, then they are expected to prove too strong Man Utd at Stamford Bridge, however when considering the ability of Ronaldo to conjure something out of nothing at any given time, it may be safer to back Chelsea to win via the draw no bet market rather than outright.
Tip: CHELSEA DRAW NO BET
