Chelsea v Man Utd

Chelsea vs Manchester United Preview

Chelsea were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw at home by lowly Burnley on Saturday afternoon but nevertheless despite failing to pick up all three points, this result has extended Chelsea's unbeaten sequence in the Premier League to five games which will give The Blues confidence ahead of this upcoming tussle against a Manchester United outfit who were also involved in a draw on the weekend as they picked up a point in a 1-1 draw away at Brentford.

Chelsea seem to be on a more even keel now under manager Mauricio Pochettino as the London club have previously picked up points in draws with the likes of Manchester City and Brentford along with collecting important wins against Crystal Palace and Newcastle United as well.

Confidence also seems to be growing amongst the Chelsea camp too, while forward Cole Palmer (13 goals) is spearheading the attack and scoring goals on a regular basis for the hosts.

The bigger picture shows Chelsea have slipped to just two defeats out of their last 10 matches overall in the Premier League whilst picking up five wins and being involved in three draws as well along with suffering just the one defeat out of their last eight games on home soil at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United still find themselves unable to chase down fifth placed Tottenham as no fewer than eight points separate the north London outfit from the Red Devils despite United picking up a solid 2-0 home win against Everton just before the international break followed by a point at Brentford when they returned to action on the weekend.

The visitors possess a very similar recent sequence of results to that of their hosts Chelsea as Manchester United have lost just twice in their last nine games overall, as they were handed defeats by the likes of Fulham and Manchester City along with collecting five important wins within this period as well.

United have claimed maximum points against the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Aston Villa, Luton Town and Everton respectively while also being involved in two stalemates as well, so the visitors also stand a decent chance of getting something out of this upcoming trip to the nation's capital on Thursday night.

However, recent results away from home have left a lot to be desired as the Red Devils have managed to capture just three wins from their last nine outings on the road along with being handed four defeats in the process as well.

Chelsea v Manchester United Verdict

Both Chelsea and Manchester United bring very similar looking form and results into this upcoming encounter at Stamford Bridge and the draw looks a favourable option here especially as five of the last seven meetings have ended up in stalemate.
