Betting Predictions
When old rivals Chelsea visit Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will be the main event of this weekend’s Premier League action, driven by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The two English powerhouses had quite different EFL Cup outcomes in the middle of the week. The Red Devils crushed Leicester City 5-2, while Newcastle United eliminated the Blues.
Head-to-Head
Enzo Maresca will look to maintain his team’s strong away record this season. They have won three of their four games; their only away loss came in the 2-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield. In the Premier League, they have won against Bournemouth, West Ham, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Red Devils currently have their second-lowest points total after nine games in a Premier League season after their 2-1 loss to West Ham United last Sunday seemed to be the last straw that broke the backbone.
Team News
Given that Antony, Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, and Kobbie Mainoo have little chance of returning for Sunday, Man United’s injury situation should be as it was.
However, Christian Eriksen’s decision to withdraw from the matchday squad due to an undisclosed worry dealt Van Nistelrooy a last-minute blow before to the thumping of Leicester, and his availability for the Chelsea visit remains uncertain.
The interim head coach doesn’t need to significantly change the EFL Cup-winning recipe in any case, although Rasmus Hojlund and Noussair Mazraoui’s fresh legs might be used instead of Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee.
The Chelsea medical staff is treating only one player, young Omari Kellyman, whereas the Manchester United hospital has eight beds.
Sancho has been passed over for starts by Maresca for the past few weeks, but now that the Red Devils loanee is unable to play for his club, Neto should take the left-winger position once more.
Lavia and Moises Caicedo should work together in the middle of Old Trafford Park. Neto’s return is expected to be one of 11 changes made by Maresca from the midweek horror show, where fans and commentators criticized Enzo Fernandez’s performance.

Verdict
Tip Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
Chelsea has adopted a desirable, possession-focused style under Maresca, which has created lots of scoring opportunities. However, despite their impressive goal-scoring ability, the team has been exposed to transitions on multiple occasions this season due to defensive lapses. Van Nistelrooy has demonstrated his managerial acumen at United, as evidenced by his second-place finish against Arne Slot’s led Feyenoord, as well as his KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield titles with PSV Eindhoven. Having won multiple titles at United, he is well aware of the club’s standards, especially when playing at home against tough opponents. This game is expected to be full of end-to-end action, with the team with a stronger defense likely to secure maximum points.

Tip: BTTS (YES)âś…
Reason
Even though Chelsea was awful at St. James’ Park, Maresca’s A team will undoubtedly have more attacking bite than their Old Trafford B team, and Van Nistelrooy won’t be able to solve Man United’s defensive issues overnight.
The hosts have been given a fresh lease of life in the attacking third, though, if Wednesday is any indication, and we think Sunday’s big game will live up to the hype in a high-scoring draw.
