They both had big Premier League title ambitions this season, but only one has lived up to expectations so far. Will Chelsea add to the many managerless Manchester United issues this weekend?
The action returns this Sunday, and here’s a close look at the Chelsea vs Manchester United betting tips available at LV BET.
CHELSEA VS MANCHESTER UNITED BETTING TIPS
CHELSEA
The title chasers won’t mind not being the centre of attention this Sunday. They may sit on top but Chelsea won’t be the team all the pre-match talk will all be about, and that is just fine with head coach Thomas Tuchel.
While it will be how well United cope in their first league outing since the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Blues will want to widen the already massive gap they’ve created from the Red Devils.
Chelsea have won five of their last six, scoring 14 times in their last seven outings.
The leaders have the best home record in the Premier League, and have scored the most goals too.
Chelsea have led at half-time in seven of their last 10 home matches. They are a bet booster at 6/5 (2.20) to be ahead at the break.
The Blues have scored more than 1.5 goals in nine of the last 15 matches and they are 7/10 (1.70) to do it again.
If you fancy a Chelsea romp, a 3-0 success is 10/1 (11.00).
Mason Mount is a 20/1 (21.00) bet to score two or more goals on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
If you think it’ll be a cagey affair, a 0-0 draw is a 10/1 (11.00) bet.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Should United lose in west London, the one-time title hopefuls will slip 15 points behind the leaders with less than a third of the season gone.
The side who just can’t defend face a team who are scoring for fun – and United are without centre back and captain Harry Maguire. He may be great for country, but some think they could be better without him. United have conceded 15 goals in their last five Premier League games.
Now the world waits to see how the side reacts to the sacking of Solskjaer when league points are on offer.
Despite their Watford horror show, United aren’t too bad away from home – winning at Wolves, Tottenham and West Ham in their last five.
If you think they can sneak a 1-0 win in the captain’s absence, you can back the bet at 17/2 (9.5).
In nine of the last 15 Manchester United’s matches, both teams scored – and it is 7/8 (1.88) to happen again with our bet booster.
United has won three of their last five away matches against Chelsea and you can get them at 5/1 (6.00) to leave with victory.
It’s also 5/1 (6.00) for Bruno Fernandes to score at any time.
Will he star in the big stage again? Ronaldo is 80/1 (81.00) to bag a hat-trick.
