Chelsea vs Manchester Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-05-15 19:15.
[p]With just two rounds of the Premier League season remaining, Chelsea’s fate remains in their own hands despite a 2-0 defeat to fellow European chasers Newcastle last week. The Blues still reside in the top five, and they can go some way to tightening their grip on UEFA Champions League qualification here ahead of a final day showdown with top-five rivals Nottingham Forest.[/p]
[p]First, Enzo Maresca’s men will be looking to extend their unbeaten home record in the Premier League in 2025 (W7, D2) when they host Manchester United. Chelsea won this fixture 4-3 last season with goals in the 100th and 101st minute to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, yet that was their first success at Stamford Bridge against United since November 2017 (D4, L3).[/p]
[p]With their final two matches coming against Chelsea and Aston Villa, Manchester United can still have a big say in the top-five race despite being a long way off the pace. A 2-0 defeat to West Ham last week stretched the Red Devils’ winless run to a joint-club record seven Premier League matches (D2, L5), with boss Ruben Amorim confessing he’s “embarrassed” by his miserable record in the competition (W6, D6, L13).[/p]
[p]Half of those wins came against the bottom three sides, and things aren’t guaranteed to get better here considering that United have won just three of their last 22 away league matches in London (D5, L14). That includes a 4-3 reverse to Brentford in their last away game in which United fielded a weakened side, and the same could be expected here given that this will be their final fixture before the season-defining UEFA Europa League final against Tottenham next week.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Manchester United are the only side Moisés Caicedo has scored twice against, with one of those strikes coming in the reverse fixture as Chelsea rescued a 1-1 draw to keep up his impressive personal H2H record in the Premier League (W4, D1, L1). Bruno Fernandes remains the driving force for the visitors and will undoubtedly be a threat again here, particularly as he’s scored in three of his last four matches against Chelsea.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Manchester United have scored 11 of their 21 Premier League away goals this season after the 75th minute.[/p]
